.........whilst in the bar having a post flight beer..........
??? How did he know ? Surely you weren't still in uniform ?
.
....most crews would ignore the Indian 24 hour regulation - probably didn't know any better.....
True, and most of India was 'dry' at that time as well, so on a 5 day slip in Bombay ( not Mumbai ) the only way to get a beer was to register as an aloholic ! I personally never did - and my lips are sealed !!
I
have heard that a tee-total person can easily blow a 0.17 and that is why the Dutch have the limit set at 0.20
On my last Cop-Stop I blew over the limit, and hadn't had a drink ! The lady cop said it was probably my after-shave, and her make-up often showed her over the limit, too, nevetheless I had to waste time blowing into the next step, the bag, which showed a large zero.
Not condoning drinking and flying of course, but this is getting ridiculous, I think I'll insist on making the next Supermarket supervisor take a breathalyser test before she serves me.
