Irony
So, it's illegal for us pilots to fly with levels of alcohol in our system as low as .02% in the US. Most states, the drink driving limit is ......08%...
Now, I have no problems with that...As an airline pilot for 20 plus years and a professional, I will abide by those regulations.
Now, let's look at airline scheduling.Backside of the clock, disregard for WOCL cycles and fatigue induced scheduling that studies have shown, using scientifically developed data on sleep cycles, regualry produce levels of fatigue in pilots EQUAL to a blood alcohol level of .24%!
But, the regulators or SLF don't care bout that do they?
Well, maybe after all factors in the recent Fed Ex accident at RJAA are brought to the table, they might....
