My somewhat cynical view is that the airlines are trying to aim for damage control as much as possible, and are tying to throw red herirngs to divert from failings on the airlines part. In this case, shrooms. If the airlines get looked at, I suspect the whole fact that he was probably that sleep deprived and it wasn’t seen as not normal could lead to actual action against airlines.
They’re trying to shift the blame entirely to the pilot (who was primarily at fault) rather than their policies that allowed a pilot to fly on no sleep for 40 hours

100% this

Nah, he wasn’t actually flying. He was however on route to fly, which was worrying.
Either way is a problem tbh
I think everyone is just glad he didn’t get behind the controls of a plane
Didn’t the shroom thing came out of police interviews?
