There are fewer things you would like to see at the airport than the pilot of the aircraft that you intend to overcome the way to asphalt. I cannot significantly distinguish between flight magic from real spells, but I am sure that it has something to do with all these buttons and switches in the cockpit, none of which I have no idea what they are doing. But pilots like that is one of many reasons why I would like them to be as vigilant.
Therefore, in the near future you will not catch me flying on British Airways, because they have just banned the entire air crew from drinking coffee in public.
As reported Aviation A2ZThis is part of the novel dress and lead code for the entire on -board crew, which includes both pilots and flight attendants. The novel guidelines indicate that drinks such as coffee, tea and carbonated drinks can only be consumed in “designated areas” and are not allowed in uniforms in passenger areas. (Apart from coffee, it requires a certain level of cruelty to limit the access of a British person to tea).
In public space, the air crew can only drink water, “and even then they have to do it discreetly.” The changes are part of “wider effort to maintain a professional and coherent image of the airline.” And what could be more professional than a pilot who is trying to sneak a sip of water, as if it was a warm dog hidden in an induction?
This is a strange definition of professionalism that does not include drinking drinks such as coffee and tea. It would be one thing if the pilot is twice his fist, monsters, energy drinks on the way to the terminal or ass, which is a frosty brew with a gate agent. But to do what a whole billion people do every day on the way to work, maybe it’s the most professional thing you can do.
What, are we worried that pilots look like they are doing something to remedy long -term drowsiness before taking control of a million pounds of steel? Is it? Because I can assure you that the latte pilot is much less disturbing for passengers than the one who nods.
