Question for Canadian pilots
Can you guys either confirm or deny a rumour that keeps appearing this side of the pond (the UK). It concerns alchohol consumption. As recent change in UK law means we connot be on flight duty with more than .02 pro mille blood alchohol. This, I am told is almost at natural residual levels. This level is even enforced to the one hour post flight duty, so landing drinks are out.
We keep hearing that this is taken even further in Canada to any time a crew member is in uniform, so consuming the duty free on the crew bus from the airport to the hotel is out also, if one is still in any sort of uniform
Is this urban myth or fact?
Thanks.
