    "The law is an a**!" All states define driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) at or above 0.08 percent as a crime.

    ....opinion: yes, even though pilots are responsible for a greater number of passengers.

    The pilot smelled of alcohol at 8:00 a.m. 


    There are tons of people who think .08 is "nothing". Personally, I'd like you to take a cab instead of getting into the driver's seat . 

    Well , if he tested positive for alcohol ,  then he shouldn't be in the pilots seat. HE should not drink I would assume for 24 hours before flying . But how did they test him . I was arrested for DWI by being friendly and not crying over my car . But I blew clean and bled clean , they has to take me home  (at 1:30 a.m. ).Apparently you can be busted for drinking strictly by behaving gregarious. I hoped they "blew" the piolet. Sounds fishy to me .

    The article said more than one coworker smelled alcohol on his breath.Likely, it really doesn't matter. Smelling of alcohol at 8 a.m. is generally not a good thing in most workplaces.

    .05 here in Oz and .00 for working drivers and pilots. And yes! There should be tougher laws for pilots I think.

    Operating a boat as well...

    Should be 0.00 for ALL drivers, pilots. Even those in charge of any dangerous machinery.
