Perhaps he meant the passengers ...?
A 48 hour drinking ban for pax would be a huge benefit to many crews working lives!
What I do not understand is why the whole industry is held to some may say a rediculiusly low limit! But engineers can perform at the much higher drink drive limit? Surely engineers perform often more complex tasks, often alone with no supervision or “back up” pair of eyes should they be three times more pissed than the crew? Just seems illogical to me!
