What's worse, a surgeon called in after he had a glass of wine two hours ago or the fact that he's been awake for 19 hours and is about to undertake a 6 hour surgery?
There's a system in place constructed by people much smarter than you and I. I trust the system.

Some of you teetotalers crack me up. One drink is "irresponsible"? Drinking at work means "including layovers"? LOL. Ya'll go ahead and do you. I'll continue to do me....which means I'll be enjoying an ice cold beverage in downtown xxx with my FO on my long layovers. That is all. Cheers.

I'd say the guys did nothing wrong until they post breathalyzers scores that say otherwise.

Not condoning what happened, even though we don't know the full story at this point, but I am still shocked that one of them is CL. He's one of the last pilots I would have guessed to be caught up in something like this.
Not sure if any of you know him, but he was always a professional, stand-up guy that frankly others could have emulated. Layovers were NEVER an issue with regards to drinking and I really enjoyed flying with him.
What a shame.....

I don't miss hearing all the super interesting "there I was" style sky king stories during self medication hour. But, that's my choice and the price I'll pay for choosing to stay outta bars on layovers.
