The article suggests it was a coverup culture within the ranks of staff: > It said drinking was endemic among employees and those who complained were bullied and ostracized for blowing the whistle. Presently, even a casual mention of a pilot drinking near flight time to airline management will ground them for testing. I imagine it was like that, then, too.
