What do the people who would ‘hang’ the allegedly ‘drunk pilots’ think about the fatigued pilots who’s level of performance after a typical long night duty exceeds the equivalent drink driving level?
The allowable alcohol level at ¼ of the UK drink driving level is effectively zero. So it may well be the case that someone who has had a beer or a glass of wine the night before with his or her meal could possibly fail a test the following morning. Under these circumstances would you really accuse them of being drunk? And do they represent any danger to anyone?
Seems to me that it is OK to be so exhausted that you can’t think straight, just as long as you haven’t been near a drink for a couple of days. Logical?
