He needs a sippy cup.I use Dixie go cups.
Who wants to get caught sipping from a bottle of Kitty Piddle behind the wheel.

Best defense is a good offense. Maybe he should sue whatever airport concession for the coffee being too hot.

“The center pedestal (throttles, ENG START, radio tuning units, ECAM control panel) and overhead panel are exposed. Any spill on them requires drying, cleaning and functional checks.”
Assuming the overhead panels are actually overhead, how do you spill coffee in them? Does turbulence get that bad?

Nope. No liquids on the flight deck.
