Would it not be a salutary lesson for the courts to also award flight delay/ cancellation compensation to the yobs. In law there is the doctrine of employer`s vicarious liability.What could have happened under this doctrine if the pilot had suffered a serious or permanent injury which led to the loss of his licence. The booze binge haul season has just kicked off and already we have a serious incident. Will it take an awful tragedy for all concerned to address this issue and put an end to it once and for all. As far as I am concerned zero alcohol for all pax with random breath tests at the gate and no alcohol on board.
