About a quarter of the FAA limit (.04%) and a level that would be impossible to detect any impairment. Depending upon when the sample was taken, could also correspond to natural decomposition within the body after death.

Thanks for the correction. I guess I should have done a little more research.

Several accident investigations have made this clear.

If the level was 5 or 6 times that observed amount and sample obtained correctly... well, that would be a different story. Not sure if this article is free outside of university paywall:

Exactly. That level is immaterial; on autopsy even some pediatric patients have low levels BAC that obviously were not drinking. Decomposition and production by microbes could get to this level, and I would read nothing into it.

It was the FO's first flight after having been released to the line from IOE. Maybe the captain thought since the FO was straight out of the school house that he was much sharper with the checklists which would sound reasonable to me.
