I didn't say it was drunk, I said it was against company policy. They don't police our drinking other than to the extent specified by the FAR's. I would say .02 is NOT free from the influence.

Baseless? If you were around long enough it was "obvious" not "baseless". I've heard that YMMV depending on the airline and union leadership, but I can only go with what I experienced. I'm not tying to tell everyone "how it is" but I will relay my own experiences...it should be valuable as a reference point if nothing else.
And yes I know what you described is illegal, but so was a lot of stuff that Jimmy Hoffa did.
