As was said earlier one of the easiest things in life is to cross the line of just a couple beers to one too many beers. It isnt something we as pilots should do but the reality is, if we cross that line you should just know to call in sick. It happens to all types of pilots the good ones just know when not to show up and the stupid ones are the ones you read about in the newspapers. Hell thats what reserve guys are for right??? Use em...
As for your captain smelling, I would take the approach of asking him if he feels ok, tell him he doesnt look to hot and that he should call in sick, I wouldnt bring up alcohol at first, that gives him the opprotunity to start denying. If that doesnt work tell him "to be honest captain you stink like a brewery and that its not worth your job, call in sick or Im gonna call in for you." If I have to call in sick for him Im just gonna say he doesnt look good and that he looks like he hasn't slept in days and that he is in no shape to fly. If they have questions then I will tell them to talk to him. If this still doesnt work I would suddenly come down with the squirts from the fish I had last night at the all night buffet and call in sick myself, there is no way you are getting me near a plane with anyone that smells of alcohol.:bandit:
