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%!
Are you sure you are not messing up with the measurement units?
In UK is 20 mg of alcohol for 100 ml of blood. Not 0.02%.

A blood level of 0.24% compares to 20 mg of alcohol for 100 ml of blood.
