The good news is that this incident did not occur while he was working. I can't conclude anything definitive in terms of guilt from the article, but then again, I don't care.

This is between him and the FAA, or whatever police department wants a piece of him. If, after he gets his due process in that venue (whatever venue it is), he is indeed found guilty, then the problem takes care of itself. The same is true if he's innocent.

If you can't live your life in a way that allows you to safely put on the monkey suit and show up for work, then you're disqualified. Otherwsie, you remain qualified. End of story.
