With my first novel getting closer to publication, I'm working on my
second--a news media thriller with an aviation "twist."
I have a scene in the cockpit of an airliner, where the captain lights up a
cigarette. The cigarette has nothing to do with the plot--he happens to be
a smoker.
My question is: Last I heard, the FAA allows the cockpit crew to smoke,
because of nicotene's benefits with regard to alertness. I would very much
appreciate if someone in the know could tell me if this is still true?
Please e-mail me, because I don't see all the posts.
Thanks,
Andy
