I do think there are a few ground staff in certain countries would only be too pleased to spill the beans on crew if they got the chance to,even though I dont drink below 10hrs I still worry about this to the extent that I dont enjoy a drink on a nightstop any more,resulting to the fact that no drinking is best and even more so for the next few months.
The reasoning of this is, when they bring in the testers in the UK you can be sure that just like the pionts system for motorists they will be out in force trying to catch out as many as possible.
If they want to dictate our lifes in our periods free from duty i.e. with the limit being so low that its a risk for even one drink,then they are dictating our lifes,rest included,
Compamies should bear the cost of this in flight pays and/or saleries and not the token hourly rates that are currently payed.
