Geoffrey Thomas with all the facts.

Emirates, unlike some airlines, encourages its pilots, no matter how junior, to speak up if they are concerned about issues such as the ability of a fellow crew member to perform their duties.

Seriously?

Airline staff are prohibited from drinking eight hours before a shift and pilots cannot have a blood alcohol content over 0.04.

12 and 0.02

The most famous case was in 1990 when all three Northwest Airlines flight crew were intoxicated when they flew a Boeing 727 from Fargo, North Dakota to Minneapolis.

Probably the most memorable flight for all those concerned.
