So I'm having lunch at a bar next to a @united pilot who says he's the pilot of a flight from Denver in an hour. He's drinking a margarita and a shot of tequila. He's gone now. I did not confront him. I do have a photo. What's the protocol for for this? Leave it alone? Report to the FAA? AviationThreads story below. For those who don't know, this is a big no no.

Alcohol is a BiG no-no in flight operations, in fact I think they mustn’t consume any alcohol within 12 hours prior to taking command of the aircraft.
