If the guy really wants to fly drunk, don't take off, don't push off. Get it taken care of.
Good question and was the Cpt. ever asked about his actions ?
I find it to be ironic in that crews complain about management and yet some have no second thoughts about throwing another crew member to the wolves even when they can control a situation such as this.
Whatever happened to the days of taking care of each other out there ?
