May I just say the stock (AI generated?) photo of a beaming pilot in the cockpit with shiny Ray Bans and a “thumbs up” in the context of this story is unintentionally hilarious?

May have well titled this article “Should I Be Concerned if My Pilot Looks Too Happy?”

(Not alcohol and flying, obviously. Several US pilots went to prison in Europe in the past few years over this. Ain’t worth it.)
