Because they're not allowed to genius.

Then perhaps they should be prohibited from serving alcohol as well. I
know of some flight crew members who would welcome such a change.

So why don't you take a vote of all airline passengers and see if they
want that? You probably will find at least 5 out of millions that
will agree with your absurd views.

I'd go for it. And make the sale of alcohol anywhere within the airport
illegal as well.

So join his club of social outcasts then.


And I'd bet that I'm not just one of five.

You're right. There are more nuts than just you two out there.


And I do consume some alcohol occasionally...

Who cares?


The POINT being, he's not against alcoholic drinks, it's a matter if them not
being a great idea for certain places and certain situations. Including airline
flights.

The POINT is that's it not a major problem no matter how many times
you and others carp about it. You can't find enough incidents to
document a handful.


Wow you're sure defensive about this alcohol thing.

No, I'm just against stupid people with hangups trying to impose their
hangups on others. Like this when there's no health issue involved
like with smoking.

What other drugs should airlines serve to passengers aboard aircraft, if
serving alcohol is okay?

Which is not what it says. It says "appears to be drunk" not
"drunk". As has been pointed out to you several times lots of drunks
get on board because they are alcoholics that can disguise the fact
that they are drunk. And no one can prosecute an airline for that.

A lot of people who are drunk on board are not alcoholic, just drunk. This is
especially true of those who create problems for the flight. It's easy to
recognize a group of drunken soccer fans.

John Kulp writes:

At a lower price for drink sure. Which is why they would lose revenue
if they eliminated it, like I said.

They could charge the same price.

John Kulp writes:

Just how were you affected? As I said, I have seen it just once in
over 40 years of flying.

Why allow one psychoactive drug if not others?

Yet they get on, despite the laws. Groups of drunken soccer fans aren't
a big problem, even if annoying. Most cases where flights have been
disturbed involve individuals, and they were usually tanked up before
boarding. The cases of people getting drunk and causing problems only on
alcohol consumed on board are rare. Then again, the problems of alcohol
on board are also rare. It's simply not a significant problem.

Only a moron like you, Anthony, would come up with a statement like that.

What you are too ****ing stupid to understand is tht someone can not be
showing the effects of imbibing too much alcohol and be able to board the
aircraft yet, without taking another drink, become drunk in flight.

You won't be able to simulate that with Microsoft Flight Simulator, but it
it really does happen. And, if you knew **** from shinola, you would
understand how it happens. Do you?

It's only a problem in Anthony's microbrain.

John -

Anthony doesn't fly. He spends all day playing with Microsoft Flight
Simulator and thinks he is a pilot and knows all about aviation. In truth,
he doesn't know **** from shinola about aviation or anything else.

Anthony - they don't allow other psychoactive drugs because they know it
will keep you off their aircraft. Fjuktjard.
