Default Bottle to throttle rule

I just saw that the US Airways alcohol rule has shifted from 12 hours to the FAA rule of 8 hours bottle to throttle. Out of curiosity, did this come from AA or is this a change for them too?

That's for first officers. Additionally, they have to update their captain every 15 minutes on their level of sobriety.

What's the Throttle to Bottle rule? Just how soon after landing can you drink up?

LOL!

Nah, the FM-1 simply re-states the FAR, and then goes on to state that the company limit is .02. That's it. Basically, AA puts the onus on us - as adults - to police ourselves. Imagine that.

You just need to wear a neon vest at the bar if you want to drink from the 12-8 hour range.
