No point in going too deep deep into this but I'm one of the XJT crew members who was on the hotel van with this crew the night before. Our layover was a little over 9 hours and they took the shuttle 30 minutes before us the next morning. I don't know of any pilots who are going out to the bars for even one drink on a minimum rest overnight, especially with a show that early. Whatever happened, I doubt it occurred at the hotel bar.

At my airline we are allowed to drink on DH flights so long as we are not legal to operate a flight when we get in. Just sayin that's a lousy reason to fire a guy if he wasn't working a flight after the DH.

When an individual starts learning to fly, they become acquainted with the both the physiological effects and FARs as they pertain to booze. The physiological effects and FARs as they pertain to booze are pointed out to every new hire at their first and successive airline where they become employed.
If they can’t follow the rules, the way the rest the responsible pilots do, then adios. There are way more responsible people out there who may be more deserving of a job then a boozer who lacks the maturity and discipline required for the position.
After 36 years of flying, I have more compassion for the poor responsible schlamiel on the street looking for a job than a life boozer.

It is in our FOM, it says if we are not legal to work within 8 hours of arrival we can drink on the DH flight.
It specifically says a pilot may consume alcohol while deadheading to or from a company assignment. (obviously not in uniform)

If I get pulled over, what disease should I tell the cop I suffer from?
