I have a couple of flights with the Connie under my belt now (and it's become a pretty nice ride for me).
One thing came to my mind, however. I guess that back in the days one was at certain times allowed to smoke in the plane... these days you'll see that all air-liners have a permanent 'no smoking' policy. They also announce after boarding "this is a non-smoking flight".
So my question is, if I want to fly this plane in 'more modern time setting' and I'd want to leave the 'non smoking' light on for the full duration of the flight... does that affect my career rating negatively?
Also, I'm not sure when the non smoking light should otherwise be on... Seatbelts should be on when there's turbulence... but does that also make smoking dangerous (because of possible dropping of cigars, etc.?)
Anyone with a clue about these?

If i'm rich enough to book a flight on one of the few (if not the only) Lockheed Constellation doing passenger flights, then i will be smoking a cigar and no one can stop me

Back in the day, the No Smoking light and the Seat Belt light were on all of the time the plane had power (engine or ground power) on the ground, and during take-offs and landings. In rough air, the Seat Belt sign would come on, but the smoking was still allowed. As for your career, you can do what you please, I'm just old enough to remember the history aspect of all of this.
