IF guilty I would agree, but you guys realize that this report comes from the
Sun which is about one step above above the National Enquirer in journalistic integrity (only because they do bikini stories instead of Bigfoot).
From another online story, the fact that Heathrow's version of the TSA is looking at crews more thoroughly than normal (just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they're not out to get you):
Every year, civil aviation authorities here step up surveillance to prevent drunken flying — invariably, strict checks find some pilots 'on a high' on ground itself.
Sadly, I may be wrong about this guy, but my point is like and accident - let's not try the guy based soley on media reports.
