Drunk pilot arrested at Heathrow

Airline safety should not be overlooked at all. the irony here is that paying passengers are being looked at as possible threats thus many ideas and equipments are being introduced to check them before boarding ( which is very comforting to know and see as one feels safer while he is way up ) while, on the other hand, pilots and crew do not go thru any check !!! The robots captains and crew could be arriving, however, till then captains and crew should go thru the same safety and security check which should certainly include physical check. Wish we all safe and happy flying. Mohammed Al-Shawi
