Sounds like they need to be more proactive on drug and Alchol testing. No reason in this.
Where is the moral compass in people that would work at any common carier while liquored up? I think pilot training could use a few lessons from that view. Authorities should also ease penalties for those that admit they are drunk and refuse the stick, rather than make those penalties so harsh they attempt to sneak into the cockpit while plastered.
I would be a fan of no tolerence policies that terminated a pilot found taking or attempting to take command of an aircraft, but a softer treatment for pilots that self reported and sought help for the addition.
I am also infavor of trust but verify, and companies should be required to have at least some form of field sobriety check for every pilot assigned a flight that day.

Is something is wrong with those blood alcohol numbers or am I just confused. A BAC of 0.50 can cause unconsciousness and over that alcohol poisoning and even death are possible. A BAC of 0.08 will get you a DUI anywhere in the USA.
Ya i was thinking the same thing.....2.03% BAC? you would be cold and stiff
Maybe they measure it different than we do.... and maybe they were dead before the crash..
They do measure it differently in Europe, reporting alcohol concentration in terms of mg/mL rather than in a percent. That said, the reported values
opps, accidently hit enter.
That said, the reported values still do not make sense.
