All well and good, but I am concerned when we are undergoing ground training events and we have to eat at seventh heaven. How shall we comply with said "rules"? Use your imagination. Don't give him any slack on this email because it's been translated or whatever. I should hope that said gentleman with his lofty position should at least proofread any document, or email sent over his signature. I try not try and interpret these emails....I mean it did go out with his signature. So, if I see any pilot eating or drinking whilst in uniform whether it be in training, in briefing or in the cockpit, I will take appropriate action and then send an official missive to our appropriate masters. See, easy, no interpretation needed. Just do exactly what "da man" has said never to do. Look at the bright side, BMIs will begin to drop.
