Got to love the media, want the real facts?

-he was not the pilot, but a relief pilot that was not scheduled to fly the plane at all
-according to this thread http://www.airliners.net/aviation-fo....main/4395597/ the pilot has already been cleared by a blood test. This is from a longhaul pilot at Air Canada.
-the smell of alcohol was caused by Cherry chewing gum
-the breath test at LHR has a 7% false positive rate
-the article couldn't even get the type of plane right, it was a 777-300, not an Airbus 330.
