Read it!

If you had read the report then you would notice that he was three times over the limit AFTER flying from Spain. It is extremely likely that he would have been well over the drink drive limit too when he started his duty. He would have metabolised a fair amount of alcohol by the time he got to Norwich. I would not want my family flying with this man; what I would like to see however is him receive suitable rehabilitation so that he can go back to his occupation.
We are lucky to have a limit in UK, other countries have a zero limit which would be even easier to bust. Like it or not that is the law and we all have to abide by it.
