...You sound as it you also need medical attention to remove that sliver of wood that is lodged in your upper body.
I feel quite strongly about it because it's a problem that directly affects my work in terms of diversions, delays, etc. I just can't for the life of me see why someone "Must" have an alcoholic drink during or immediately prior to their flight. It's only a few hours for ****'s sake!
We don't let our crew members fly with even a tiny amount of alcohol in their systems for safety reasons. What makes pax any different? If anything, a drunk crew member will be able to find their way out of a burning airframe easier than a drunk pax due to their familiarity with their surroundings.
Anyway, I should have known better than to attempt to engage in a debate on so thorny a subject because it will always degenerate into personal digs (as the above quote so ably demonstrates)
I'm off now to have that sliver of wood removed.
G'Night all.
