Nothing, as far as I can tell. The question is, can you function without alcohol for forty-eight to seventy-two hours? If the answer is "no," then you have an alcohol problem. I suspect you don't.

My point was that even if the company does manage to enforce a no-booze-on-our-time policy, a normal pilot (i.e. one who is not addicted to alcohol) won't have a problem with it.

Having said that, I'm starting to agree with ifly4food regarding the possible slippery slope. Maybe it's better to leave the situation alone and let the problem children weed themselves out.

Typhoon...I believe you are right this problem will solve itself in the end.

My thoughts......

If I am on company time while I am supposed to be on rest, then I better be getting paid my hourly rate while I am doing whatever I am doing on the overnight. I am sure that all the business travelers are on company time while they are in the World Clubs, President Lounges, etc...in the terminals getting smashed on vodla tonics then boarding OUR planes and causing unsafe static for the cabin and flight crews.

DeltaCrownFlyer doesn't want anymore drunk aircrews. I agree. However, there were more drunks driving down my street last night at 10 pm then there have been drunk airline pilots in the last 2 years. Hope none of the people that think pilots can't enjoy a beer in the hotel have never done that.

I concur.





I know some of you guys like to get blasted at the hotel bars. Can you not wait until your home? I mean come on, you only work what 10 days a month?


Well, if this is true, the company owes me some days off...............
