If they can’t follow the rules, the way the rest the responsible pilots do, then adios. There are way more responsible people out there who may be more deserving of a job then a boozer who lacks the maturity and discipline required for the position.

After 36 years of flying, I have more compassion for the poor responsible schlamiel on the street looking for a job than a life boozer.
