The possible consequences doesn't bear thinking about .

I'd rather have a rate ar5sed pilot that a computer all day long.

Until we have pilotless planes for air travel , then we will have to trust that those in the cockpit are sober , in order to keep an eye on those computers

There have been a couple of incidents out of Scotland (Transat was the other one). Someone showed me a notice that the police were dishing out in Glasgow to passing airline crews reminding them of the perils of drinking.

Funny how he only sought treatment after being nicked, makes you wonder what he's got away with in the past.

do alarms really sound when you smell of alcohol, or is that just a metaphor?
