Ripline, you are not forced to read this thread if you do not wish to.
Perfect people who pontificate upon the inadequacies of the majority in a profession or the population at large do nothing to help those who may have problems.
This aviation industry has a better-than-most way of dealing with those who fail standards far beyond the many other vitally important occupations. Hopefully we do so productively and effectively.
Every time a clever devil comes along belittling the minority of those with problems actually drives them underground. Thank you ripline for your contribution?

get a clue
Have you ever done an over water plus go 8 hours - time zones and maybe just maybe wanted to have a beer to help you get to sleep. I think no you havn't. I have and it is a B..ch. We as professional pilots no the rules and are so happy that locals are keeping us legal.
Ripline, here´s the next occurrence for you:

Am I the only one "impressed" with the enhanced powers of observation being displayed by security staff these days ?
The level of alcohol involved in many of these cases would require deliberate and intrusive personal contact to be perceived methinks.
Of course the nasty vindictive jealous little jobsworth gobsh1tes employed in this `profession must be jumping up and down in glee at every one they shop with the equivalent of a half pint in their bloodstream.
I would hate to think it was distracting them from their primary task of avoiding the carriage of lethal toothpaste or mineral water.
