PLease explain:
Why can't
a) people be breathalised prior to boarding
b) if over limit, stopped from boarding -AND NO REFUND
Why do airlines serve alcohol on flights?
There is no excuse for being pissed when flying. It's unpleasant for the other pax and crew should never have to put up with drunks. IT IS THAT SIMPLE!
If booze is to be served, for profit etc, 1 drink with a meal. That's it. You don't need to get pissed simply because you cannot find anything else to do when flying. Read a book and get some culture!! What bull**** that because there is no movie and the food is crap, the only thing to turn to is booze.
I am half Irish and have lived in Eire for 28yrs. I am sick to death of the pisshead mentality of the Irish and the English. " oh dear, I have to wait 2hrs before boarding, oh well, best ram 6 pints down my neck... there is simply nothing else to do!"
I simply don't get it, sorry if I offend anyone out there from the Ireland and the UK, but it's true, as soon as there is a social occasion, GET THEM IN QUICK, AS MANY AND AS FAST AS POSSIBLE!
I am sick to death of it, no wonder the continent think we are muppets. Prime example, I was on a flight to Turkey, this Irish middle aged woman was so pissed, that during a 30 min stop at one airport in Turkey, she sat on the steps of the plane and lit up a fag! Very clever, especially when we were refuelling!
Time to grow up and be responsible, the world will not end if you can't drink for a few hours.
End of rant...hang on, not quite.....
Ah that's Better
