Just checking: it's against the rules for pilots to drink in the cockpit in NZ, correct?

The pilot of the plane ensured his aircraft avoided the drone? How?

That statement seems the most laughable of the entire article.

They really need to institute breathalyzer tests on pilots before, during and after commercial flights.
