It was a joke, there have been numerous alcohol related deaths and injuries where I live. My friends drink but after one drove home drunk (yes, he is a moron ) he has scared himself into drinking only with a designated driver handy. I would not like to see anything get between me and flying and I don't want to end up like those America West pilots. Also that study is quite interesting Freightdogg.
Can't agree more Greg, I don't want anything I can prevent to hinder me from aquiring the dream job, flying jets! Drinking is stupid when you are getting addicted and alcohol poisoning... Just retarded
now, having a 5-7 beers once in a couple of months isn't bad... You won't get addicted and you'll still have a good time!
Hung over one morning I fell asleep in an F-14 while taxiing on the compass rose. I was lucky I managed to keep the brakes depressed while I snoozed. It was only for about 5 minutes.
No one knew, I had my helmet on and visor down. I think the leg cramp I got from holding the brakes for that long woke me.
Serious? you bet. Never involve alcohol with anything to do with aircraft.
Very, lucky indeed, as not very far from our rose was a large lake. Turkeys can't swim.
Well, I would say I wait at least 72 hours before even going to an airport after a night out. I only drink on special occasions though.
The 8 hour limit is a joke IMO...
I honestly dont drink anymore. I got wasted a few times when I lived in Germany where the drinking age is 16, but honestly, its not that big of a deal to me. Every once and a whil I will have a beer or two if its in a place where its legal. But I really haven't been completely drunk in a while. Not since I visited my sister in Dublin. And I waited 7 months to fly (comlpletley unrelated to alcohol though).
I used to drink and get drunk maybe once every couple weeks, sometimes more. But I quit because of many reasons.
a:It made me feel sick most of the time
b:I made an ass of myself one too many times
c:It got in the way of my driving
Instead, now I only smoke a certain green plant and those things I listed don't happen anymore.
Anyway, I'm pretty well off - my stomach takes a lot less alcohol than my head, so I can walk home easily even if I "haven't felt that good". And the good booze that won't cause that is way too expensive to waste it on getting drunk.
Drink and drive or even drink and fly? Do some people really think it can work? I've driven after drinking once, and even though that was like nearly four hours after three beers, I didn't look into the mirror upon leaving my parking space and heard that noise of a breaking Mercedes left of me. Needless to say that it was the first and only time I didn't look in seven and a half months of driving - Murphy's Law being enforced.
