Even if they are acquitted of all charges like the American Airlines pilot at Manchester (see: Cleared: The pilot who claimed he got drunk in his sleep | Daily Mail Online) I'm thinking that they will still have issues to face with the federales in Canada.
No, a simplistic statement by me trying to avoid too much typing in a phone! Clearly, what I meant was that if the country you are operating from (UK in this case) has more stringent laws (not rules) they will apply, and subsequent prosecutions will be based on those.
