Quick !! Let's all jump on this outrage bus !!
A typical piece of manipulation of facts from the press on a slow news day..... Let's try " Only 170 pilots test positive in five years " ...... Not much of a headline is it ?
This in fact represents a statistical chance of getting on an airliner with a pilot under the influence of alcohol of almost zero and I would guess far below that of being treated by a doctor or being sentenced by a judge who had consumed achohol before working.
Would the paper like to do a story on aircrew fatgue and its effects on flight safety ? ................ No too boring because it might shatter the under worked and overpaid pilot image that sells newspapers.
