 As far as I know he has been arrested on the grounds of suspicion. So until the facts are known he is considered innocent in my view. There have been too many false alarms in the past. Even bad breath or an exessive diet has led to arrests!

So long

 This was just reported in the news:

No charges are to be brought against a Virgin Atlantic Airways first officer who was arrested at London Heathrow last month after allegations relating to blood-alcohol levels.

Blood tests show that the pilot, who was serving as a relief crew member on a service to Miami on 28 October, was under the legal alcohol limit for aviation workers.

Virgin Atlantic says the pilot “will not be charged with any offence” as a result of the findings. The carrier adds: “The pilot is now expected to resume his duties at the airline.”

In April another Virgin pilot was similarly cleared to return to work following a negative blood-alcohol test, conducted after he was held at Heathrow on 31 March ahead of operating a service to New York.
