Please note Journo Jim that if the only things that were ever said were hard facts this site wouldn't be here at all. These rumours are important for all of us who wern't in Finland yesterday to know what might be going on.

Ivan Ivanovich is so perceptive.
Honiley's statement seems more factual than rumour. How wpuld the ordinary person interpret it? Opinion, rumour, someone else told me does not remove the responsibility for libel.
The unfortunate person involved in Honiley's posting can probably be identified as was the case in the Channel 4 programme about the BA pilots whose guilt was determined without a fair trial or hearing.
Or are there double standards in this thread?

I am afraid it might be more than a rumour. According to the biggest daily paper "Helsingin Sanomat", (and several less worthy tabloids) yesterday the Captain of a cargo aircraft was breathalysed by the Police at HEL. The paper did not specify the airline in question.
Breathalysing, as far as I know, is not a standard procedure in Helsinki, but in this case the police was notified of the Captain's condition and an alcohol level of 0.8 o/oo was measured at the scene. This figure will be verified by laboratory tests, according to the paper.
I am sure the CAA / investigating authorities will file a report on the incident in due time.

On the same note i read to day in the report on the Queens speech, that our "new" goverment will pass new laws on the levels of alcohol allowed in pilots blood, to also included ATC personel and other safety releated employment groups, but not Doctors,Judges or MP`s!!. so much for focus on delivery "schoolsnhospitals"
