I figured that may be the case and it is a win win, nice to have.
What recourse do we have on being falsely accused of drinking and what is our union stance on this. I would personally want to fry the accuser if it were me. We need to get rid of going thru TSA anyway. Our ID is kind of like haveing a top secret clearence but we have to check you out before you can see a top secert peice of material each time we are going to show you one. In other words, it is useless. Again, a failure of ALPA.
