Not today no, my aircraft is on maintenance this week,
but I might have . But I just said I was opening the bottle, : you see there is a whole range of possibilities between opening a bottle and emptying it on my own .
If I was going to fly later in the day, I would have limited my consumption to a quarter of a glass with my meal and shared the rest with my lunch company.
This is our tradition in the country I am originating from.
.
Back in the good old days where Air France was an airline operating airplanes driven by cables and rods and flown by a team of 3 , it was customary for the cockpit crew to have a similar half a glass of wine with their crew meals. During that period the company did not crash an aircraft every 2 years like it does now. In fact if you look your statistics up you will find that AF did not have a single crash in 20 years during that period.
I leave it to you to draw your own conclusions , but not too serious ones please..
