In the early 80's most of us were dry Sunday night to Friday. The sqn manning was so tight that you were either due to fly or on QRA or first reserve.


Speak for yourself, mate. That certainly wasn't the case where I was.

People are generally self-regulating far more sensibly these days than was ever the case in the late 70s, for example.

No point in fixing what ain't broke. But breathalysing half the air farce board every time they come up with daft 'Friday afternoon ideas' might prove revealing!

Same goes for some of those near catatonic people who've been stupid enough to have a 'gozome' session at some Malvinas drinking den before pouring themselves into the northbound TriShaw.....
