*** PREVIOUS RESULTS *** Last week, AVweb asked (totally anonymously) if our readers had ever taken a drink of alcohol within the eight-hour window before a flight.
Much to our relief, 90% of respondents said no. (So much for our big advertising contract with Anheuser-Busch.)
The remaining 10% were split evenly among our other possible answers:
I’m sure I’ve had a sip within the eight-hour window. (3%)
The rule is about being impaired – and I’ve never flown while impaired, eight-hour rule notwithstanding. (4%)
At the time, I didn’t think so – but in hindsight, I may have made a mistake. (3%)
*** THIS WEEK’S QUESTION ***
In October, Lockheed Martin (the contract’s lowest bidder) will begin its takeover of flight service stations. What’s your prediction for the future of FSS?
