Is a bit crazy, at the uk airport i am employed at we all have too carry (T- Cards), tool cards, and the other night i was told off in a firm but friendly manner,because i had a mug of tea in the company vehicle, which was a fluid and not allowed airside, and yet in the back of the van, i had
Isopropyl Alcohol/Eng Oil/Skydrol/Acetic Acid, which ok i am not gonna drink, but surely Tea is much an important engineering fluid as mobile jet 2 oil is too a gas turbine.
Eng oil level low, engine makes cranky noises, overheats and ultimatley shuts down,
Engineer Runs out of tea, Engineer makes cranky noises, overheats and ultimatley shut down.
Should have the amm ammended too have tea/coffee listed as a working fluid..
