Commercial Flying

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

That's one of the funniest skits ever...and it's just as funny as it was 30 years ago.

WOW! That sure was funny. I am pretty sure I saw this when it first aired. What makes it even funnier is Dean laughing at Foster.

And no bad language needed to be "funny."

They Were Kings.

Dino was pretty much losing it by the end of that skit.

Been working my way thru the Dean Martin Roasts on youtube. If you only see one, check out when they roast Dino himself on his own show. Rickles was the guest-host - his delivery and mental agility was still impressive in his 80's - back in that day, He Absolutely Killed It - apparently did that whole Roast with zero notes or prompter use.

They. Were, Kings.

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......

Part 91 is for general aviation, private pilots. IIRC commercial aviation is part 135 and part 121 (scheduled airlines) IIIRC they will be lower.

From CNN

In India, which boasts the world's strictest rules, pilots aren't allowed to drink within 12 hours of a flight and must have absolutely zero alcohol in their system.
"0.001% is also a violation," said Lalit Gupta, a senior official at India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation.
In the U.S., pilots are allowed to have a trace amount of alcohol in their system -- up to 0.04% blood alcohol concentration -- and must have eight hours between "bottle to throttle". (The 0.04% level is half the 0.08% legal limit for U.S. drivers on the roads.)

Thanks guys.

0.05% will get you an on-road license suspension here. I'm slightly surprised at the 0.04% for pilots.

Not disagreeing with limits cited, just surprised.

I don't know... I've seen some DIY work that if the FAA saw it they might say " aaaaahhhh yeah your not flying anyone anymore"! :laughing:

That Dean Martin video was hillarious.. who was the pilot he was outstanding?
