While drinking alcohol during a flight might feel relaxing, it may be worsening your flight experience. Not only does it intensify the effects of high altitude, but it can also disrupt your sleep. How else does alcohol impact in-flight health, and how can you minimize its adverse effects? https://lnkd.in/dmDNsYBt
Don’t drink alcohol on a flight. Be a weirdo like me and drink Tomato juice. I’ll never drink tomato juice ever anywhere else…but something about that in flight tomato juice…
Alcohol consumption increases the risk of air rage which can result in among other things you being banned for life from an airline or perhaps from flying ever again!
Frequent flyers have long been beleaguered by #jetlag, with all kinds of generic advice on how to diminish its effects. Airlines and apps are using the latest sleep and circadian neuroscience to revolutionise how long-haul travellers handle jet lag.
From sleep cycles to diet and light exposure, here’s what you can do when transitioning to a new timezone.

"So what are the threats of fatigue, how can we identify them, and what can we do to manage them in the most effective way?" You do realise this is like saying. "My boss told me to down a bottle of wine and then drive home or I will be dismissed, so how can I avoid the police catching me or driving into a tree?"...
You are aware, aren't you, that when ops or crewing say 'it's legal', if the series of flights are fatiguing, then it's actually criminal. Don't believe me? I suggest you read the ANO./ EU Ops. Don't expect the CAA to do anything about it, though.
So what do you do? Those of you who have read the book "Pulling Wings From Butterflies" will already know.
For those that haven't, you state, " I am removing myself from that duty as I suspect I will become fatigued to the extent it will place the safety of my passengers and crew at risk".
You are protected (although BALPA won't tell you this due to...well, work it out).

Climbing into an aircraft cockpit at 3 AM is not usually the part of the job that pilots get massively excited about ⏰
For a lot of us, weird roster patterns, and performing under pressure outside of our normal circadian rhythm is simply part of being a pilot.
However, we’re all still human, and unfortunately no human is immune from fatigue. 💤
So what are the threats of fatigue, how can we identify them, and what can we do to manage them in the most effective way?
We've updated our fatigue guide with new graphics and practical tips! 💡
What are your experiences with fatigue, and how did you manage it?

This study highlights the positive impact of just one cup of coffee on highway driving performance. ☕
It's fascinating to see how caffeine can combat driver sleepiness and improve attentiveness during prolonged drives.
