Hey guys, Im new to Pprune, but here is my 2p worth.
Although I agree with the aspect of greater concerns for safety, I struggle to understand why it doesn't carry across to other fields where there are similar concerns.
Personally I think engineers should have the same limits as they are just as involved with the safety of an aircarft as the pilots are - I wouldn't want a hungover engineer with impaired abilities due to the night before doing an overhaul / 50hr check on any mchine that I or any friends would be flying.
And drivers - how many drink driving offences or worse deaths are there on the roads? - in my mind too many, so why isolate pilots?
Any thoughts?
