I disagree. Two of my family members experienced this. I have seen one deal with their ups and downs first hand. There has been numerous times where we thought one was cured. One even had such a bad relapse that they can never drive again. They have experienced court action, jail time, fines, divorce, and family intervention. After over a decade of this I would be nervous to let any of them work in a similar industry. The truth is it takes a lot of hard work for them to stay sober and it is not that difficult for them to be pushed over the edge again.

But you and others are right, there must be something wrong with me for not wanting to share the cockpit or fly in the back of a plane with someone whose judgment has caused them to try to fly drunk before. The fact that I don’t agree with you means I know nothing of the subject.
