No offence taken.

Point one - The chap was over the limit when tested.

Point two – As a result of point one, he was arrested because he attempted to fly a jet with trusting passengers who paid money with a guaranty of safe passage from point A to point B to be operated by a fully qualified, responsible and medically fit crew.

Point three - He plead guilty to points one and two.

Point four - I'm sure he will graciously accept whatever sentence that is meted by the court.

Now, don’t you find it arrogant that some within our profession feel that company rules, regulations and disciplines do not apply to themselves? Don’t you think it's a slap in the face of those crewmembers that do. Then the questions we get from passengers because of an idiot’s behavior. In the aftermath of the NWA overfly of MSP fiasco, I can’t tell you how many passengers ask me if the battery in my laptop computer will last for the duration of our flight.
