Those crazy Russians..... I used to drink with them in the Four Turkeys in Entebbe, they would have a 0700 departure and they would leave the bar at 0200 pissed as farts with more alcohol and a couple of chicks.
I belive Air France until a few years ago allowed the pilots a glass of wine with their lunch on flights. This is a well known story but I have to say I dont know if it is just a myth or not.
