They are idiots, and what's amazing is that their counsel, or the union, or somebody (don't recall exactly who) had the nerve to plead leniency on account of the fact that they were only being pushed back, and thus didn't technically violate the rule about "operating an aircraft" under the influence... pathetic. There are some cases where clear intent should bring the same penalty as having committed an act, and this sure as hell is one of them! And as stated earlier, what a waste- all that time, effort and money to earn that privilege, and they show up for a trip still drunk from the night before!! Even if they were only busted based on reports of their activities the night before, I have to assume they were tested the following morning and were still over the limit. Regardless, leaving the bar drunk only six hours before push-back?!  That's just not right, no matter how experienced one is with alcohol!!
Personally. the thought of even sitting  behind the controls when I'm not 100% sharp gives me the creepy-crawlies. Before I got drunk enough to want to try that, I'd pass out!
I don't even like to drink more than one or two puny drinks when flying commercially as a passenger... even pax have to be on their toes, if something goes wrong.

Ahhh its not that bad, my dad went on a Airlingus flight to barbados.. and the pilot was paraletic

A just verdict.  Jail time as a penalty is not much compared to having already lost their licenses.
