Sympathy is a little irrelevant. My understanding is that the
threshold set for pilots being "over the limit" is about a third of the driving breathalizer limit.What guidance has your company or licensing authority given re- "safe" limits re units of alchohol vs
time before duty....oh, silly me, you can't have a hard and fast rule because we vary in our metabolising rates and (a sensitive one for me) weights. Make walk-in testing available so that we
might gain some personal idea...how progressive! My company and the CAA think it's fine for me to start work at 0500z after a day off...no sherry trifle for me, darling.
