The DO pulling them off the flight under the circumstances doesn't mean much.

Well the company thought so or else they wouldn't have hired outside counsel to conduct a drug/alcohol investigation.

The probe focused on whether Engelien and Pina potentially violated the company’s policy barring pilots from consuming alcohol within 10 hours before a scheduled flight, she said.
