The alcohol limit for pilots is much lower than for drivers.

The legal limit for pilots, navigators, flight engineers and cabin crew on flights is 9 microgrammes of alcohol in breath, compared to 35 microgrammes for motorists.

But I'm sure you're sensible enough to limit it to the time you are awake Robert [msnwink][msnwink]

How about we all scare everyone from flying at all with this unsubstantiated and quite frankly disturbing thread that has nothing whatseoever with vacationing in Florida.

The forums are here to promote holidays in Florida, staying at beatiful privately owned villas and not to try and spread scare stories based totally on rumours and no hard facts at all (apart from the AA pilot mentioned).

I'm locking this thread now as it serves no purpose at all. If the few people want to talk about flight crews and how much they do or do not drink, there is a very good forums out there for that kind of thing...Pprune.
