|  Off The Wall Question For The Jet Drivers . . . This one could make the difference . . . Can you use smokeless tobacco products in the cockpit? If so, which airlines? Official policies? Unofficial policies? Crappy Captains with no lives?

 | Re: Off The Wall Question For The Jet Drivers . . . From the FOM: Delta employees may not smoke in Delta buildings, aircraft, or vehicles. Smoking is also prohibited in vehicles providing crew transportation. The use of chewing tobacco/snuff is also prohibited on Delta’s premises, aircraft, or vehicles.

| Re: Off The Wall Question For The Jet Drivers . . . Not prohibited here. I know I'm in for a long flight when the CA asks the FA for TWO styrofoam cups.....

 | Re: Off The Wall Question For The Jet Drivers . . . Depends entirely on company policy. Like Mike stated above, DL does not allow it. Eagle had no policy on chew, and many guys I knew used pop bottles or styrofoam coffee cups as spit cups. I can't remember any policy at AA about it. Heck, I knew guys who would actually smoke up front (that was against policy, though  ). One guy in particular, an ATR guy who you'd see when he was in the box arriving in ORD, and he'd pop the document door open and you'd see his scrawny little hand stick out and flick his ashes on the ramp.

| Re: Off The Wall Question For The Jet Drivers . . . We were not allowed to smoke on the 141, or any military plane for that matter. However, most pilots had no issues with us smoking by the pressure door. It always had small leaks that would suck the smoke right out. I know guys who would be told by the pilot they could not do this, but with lots of cargo, noone can see back there, so they would do it anyway. hehe. |

| Re: Off The Wall Question For The Jet Drivers . . . I did an internship during my senior year of college for a bio credit at an oral surgery practice. Most oral cancer is most often fatal. I saw the doc tell a few folks, all of which chewed, their biopsy was malignant. Ouch! See below -

| Re: Off The Wall Question For The Jet Drivers . . . I don't know if it's banned at my place or not, but I do know I've flown with many captains who do it.

| Re: Off The Wall Question For The Jet Drivers . . . Gross. That is all I have to say. But I would rather deal with that than someone on a 7 hour flight and severe nicotine addiction and no way to curb it.  |
