I am sorry if I have hurt your feelings, as that is not my intention.
But to think that anyone who interacts with pilots will have a handle on what they get up to is gravely mistaken.
At my busiest I would see more than a thousand pilots a year and that kind of interaction for 45 or 60 minutes may give a bit of an insight into their person and being I could not guess whether any of them would ever do or has done anything counter to the regulations.
Even when dealing with people (both alleged perpetrators and victims) in the criminal justice system it would be impossible on one's encounter with the person to determine what is what. Luckily enough that is also not the job of the doctor.
And in most good judicial systems it doesn't depend on people's impressions whether someone is guilty but on having evidence.
