Commercial Flying

I am not sure of the connection between Do-It-Yourself and a pilto's ticket?

Pretty sure that is supposed to be DUI.

Very good Ceamer. Now what are the FAA rules on legal intoxication. I get the 12 hour bit..... We all know folks that are still so intoxicated after 12 hours that they can't stand to take a piss.

So......nobody can regale us with the specific FAA limits on blood alcohol or, it truth, there are none. WOW!!! Ain't that just grand.

That "throttle to bottle", good 'ol boy quote really gives me a warm fuzzy feeling at 35,000 feet.

Used to fly on business several times a year, it was what is was..... learned things like flying through DFW when going to the left coast, instead of Ohare. Definitely preferred DFW, even if it was slightly more scheduled time.....

I like the physics of flying, and would probably still enjoy it if I owned a plane. Wrong lottery tickets keep getting picked though.....

I've grown to prefer driving, even fairly long distances.

Flew last year, for the first time in a long time..... arrived in Fort Myers, just after that major incident :thumbdown: I wouldn't call myself a phobic flyer - I like the act, but not the environment/process that commercial flying has turned into. Reminded me of cattle being shipped.....

But yes, when you see an incident like BBC reported, and try and peal back the onion a bit on this issue - it doesn't exactly increase your comfort level when the answers are loosey-goosey......

My brother is a pilot for a fractional. He said the FAA puts it at .02 while his company is at .00

Today, those are more like the #'s I'd expect to hear.

Specs ! I like actual specs, a lot....... :thumbsup: Hopefully international regs are the same or lower.

Slightly under our road vehicle regs here. I'd prefer zero, and would spend more to fly with an airline that required zero.

Not that I'd expect to see any marketing campaigns for commercial airlines anywhere near this topic......

I find it horribly remiss that we've made it to page two without this classic:

Ha, I much prefer the Dean M clip - but thanks guys. I just knew there had to be legal specifics
