Are you now suggesting that, not only should this law be repealled, but it is perfectly acceptable for pilots to fly drunk, because so far (in the UK) just one accident has happened because of alcohol?


We can argue about the level of impairment and the effect of flying v driving till the cows come home, apart from being ammusing it will achieve nothing. At some stage, a member of the medical profession would have given his opinon, which holds more weight than yours, or mine on the subject, which is why the levels are lower for pilots than drivers.

Even if you are correct.....then my point still applies, that ANY ALCOHOL impairs you ability.
