Does anyone know what happened to the pilot who was hauled off of VS022 before xmas on suspicion of being drunk?

Seems to be a sore subject. No one is allowed to say what really happened because he hasnt been convicted. However what is a fact is that he has resigned from his post at VS.

No one actually knows where the trial is up to. Not any of VS's business anymore.

The UK media made such a big spread of it when it broke, that it is hard to believe that they would let it die -- unless of course, the truth turned out to be something different to the juicy innuendo they were allowed to print before anything was proven. [:(!][:(!]

I did ask in NYC this month and no one seemed to know a thing there either, no media coverage at all.I was in IAD a day or so after it happened and it was a massive story at the time.
