CH4
“1) How the hell does a pilot know if he is breaching the limit? “
You’ve got to be kidding!!!
“Short haul pilots. These are the guys most vunerable. Most normal people like a drink and who the hell can deny them that right.”
Are you saying BA pilots are “normal” human beings (people)? (tongue firmly in cheek here)
Errmm, “most vurneable” to what? Drinking and driving?
As far as I am concerned – drink yourself silly if you like, no-one can deny you this right. But the policies are set for a reason. Can’t comply?, why not choose a profession where management will tolerate intoxicated workers. (Please point me to one and I will apply)
“3. The airlines cannot just throw the 'rule book' at the pilots. They need to be proactively involved, so should the unions, such as BALPA.
It's an industry problem, not just a pilot problem. IMHO”
In THIS case; the stupidest statement I read in a while.
Oh, and this:
"Again, maybe this is the airlines' problem to solve with the 'rule makers' and maybe you have to grant a 'drying out day' after the 'statutory days off'."
Nice try at a wind-up CH4, or you are drunk.
