12 hours bottle to throttle - or do they say 24 :)
At .13 at John Wayne, I wonder how he got to the airport in San Diego. Did he 'refuel' in Portland? I wonder if he could be charged for DUI in California on this.
For some reason I think the drug/alcohol test wasn't completely random.

An acquaintance always had a Coke can working.....filed with Vodka. How he kept his license was always a mystery.
The flying public expects 'licensed pilots' to police 'licensed pilots' when individuals are not fit to operate or fly the aircraft. This principle about professionals self-policing others in their profession applies to law enforcement officers, physicians, nurses, train operators, ship captains, etc. All Lives Matters!

Most, if not all, airlines impose a 0.00 limit. You may be "legal" at .01, but you can still lose your job per company policy.
