Why sure. Let’s all give the guy a pat on the back for stepping into the cockpit under the influence of alcohol. He had no clue he had been drinking or that he might be under the influence of alcohol, right?

I can recognize symptoms of diseases/illnesses such as a headache, a cold, or other symptoms. There are some tell tale symptoms/signs after all with any illness/disease. He made the decision to deny his signs/symptoms.

IMHO: Choosing to ignore your illness or its symptoms/signs is no excuse period! Especially when lives are a t stake!
