smoke in the cockpit

in normal circumstances if you had it you would land ASAP..

your problem is what to do while not offending the culprit...difficult one...

well theres no contest really.its against the rules...you should not be penalised for reporting it, but if your identity is going to be made known to the captain maybe you should come clean and tell him it bothers you but you are more concerned ( as you should be ) from a safety point of view...

and then again..you could have a passenger (friend) make a written complaint about a smell of smoking ( when passangers have to do without ) from the pointed end...

OR you could set off the alarm while using the toilet ( just immediately after the captain has smoked ) and say it was smoke from the flight deck that had followed you ( since people know you are not a smoker... it could'nt have been you ) into the head and...bobs your uncle...

there is devious for you..

i am not now a smoker but i am a pilot....and more importent i am a passenger from time to time and i think the practice is unsafe in the extreme...


good luck...
