Breathalyser
I am a retired airline pilot. I received AAIB Bulletin 5/2007 in which is a report of a collision between an A320 and a pushback tractor which says amongst other things, that when the aircraft returned to a stand the police entered the flight deck and breathalysed both operating flight deck crew. No mention of them breathalysing the groundcrew involved is made. Does anyone know if that in fact happened? Is it a normal procedure?
I retired sixten years ago having enjoyed my aviation career but am very glad that I no longer have to put up with the daily agravation begining with the commute to the airport, then from "security", and seemingly the police too, which the current crews face. And in my day most flight managers were reasonable guys!
