Nothing like an ol’ reliable adrenaline rush
Frozengyro@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Or completely freeze in a panic…
rockstarmode@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Those people panic sober too.

Like the drunken Russian soldiers we get to see dieing? In other words: I doubt it. Is there actual proof for this happening? If so, how would the effect of alcohol be countered?

Adrenaline is a drug and in my experience when it kicks in, the impairment from other drugs abates pretty quick.
Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I’m sure it worked the first few times. In a situation like that you’ll be under constant stress, that’s not at all comparable with suddenly finding yourself in an emergency.

NGL on the worst days, I absolutely do critical work after slamming a few pints or eating some edibles.
When I was younger, I absolutely did sober. But its getting harder and harder in my 40s.
The last emergency, it was Friday afternoon and I was blazed. Had to tell them I can’t be the primary and my backup took the wheel.

Maybe you should find a different line of work.

I don’t think you should do this if you are in an exit row. I know this isn’t popular, but it feels like a lesser version of drunk driving to me.
My opinion. I don’t make the rules.
el_abuelo@lemmy.ml 6 months ago
I don’t disagree with the first sentence but do disagree with the comparison. A driver is in constant control of the vehicle and has to make decisions on a second by second basis that could result in death. By comparison, the chance of anyone in an exit row even being in a plane accident is vanishingly small. Even smaller still the liklihood that they’ll have to do anything (and be alive to do it)
GBU_28@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Point being the event where you need to “drive” in the exit row (however rare) is a societal obligation, and should be taken remotely seriously (again acknowledging the changes are microscopic).
If you want to zonk out, at least do it in some other window seat so you don’t impede an evacuation, however rare.
I wouldn’t park by bike in front of a fire escape, as another example

The doors remove themselves these days anyway!

So no drink&fly in exit rows on Boeing planes?
rockSlayer@lemmy.world 6 months ago
On my last flight I was sky high on a 100mg cookie before we even finished boarding. We landed safely, I’m a hero

Jesus Christ you must have landed 4 hours after your flight

Thank you for your service.

Is this a thing? Are staff just palming off the safety protocols onto the passengers now?
NewAgeOldPerson@lemmy.world 6 months ago
It’s always been a thing. And it makes sense. If there is a problem within a tin can 30k+ feet in the air, we are all in it together.

Guess I don’t catch enough planes to have ever got the excitement seats

If I’m sitting next to the emergency exit in the event of ab emergency, I guarantee the door will be opened for everyone escaping the plane after me.

“They said ‘sir you can’t sit here, this is a fire exit…’
As if there was a fire, I wasn’t going to move.”
