In previous discussions on this problem (in this forum) the view has generally been:
- At Check-in, the person may not be so inebriated and staff have no cause to deny boarding.
- At the gate, the staff are often in a mood of 'pass the problem to someone else'. Naturally, this has been argued about a great deal in here but, if it's the last rotation of the day? One can see that getting rid of the problem might be thought a good idea.
