Let's be sure we are talking about the same thing. You were responding to Tankengine about the Captain being happy. My point is and remains that unless the Captain is happy the flight will not 'start'. It doesn't matter who you think is responsible for the 'flight' at ther terminal. It doesn't matter if an airline's policies state the airport manager may be responsible for making the decision about passengers under the influence and their fitness to fly. If my crew is not happy about it and i agree with their assessment (meaning I'm not happy) the flight will not start. End of the discussion.
