I’m thinking that will result in a mass exodus, not because of the policy itself but because it gets really intrusive and caddy. So I’m curious what other creative / fair alcohol policies are out their in the part 91 world.
Need defined rest periods. Without them, it's moot and you're on call the entire time. If on call the entire time, one should be compensated as such and be ready to go.
If they won't teetotalism on the road, good luck with that. Last time I checked, a lot places are hiring that let be off.
