ATCO's, and Airline crews are under constant threat of alcohol/drugs tests, so why can't the RAF get a grip of this?
had an f/o that couldn't have just 2, he had a bit of a squabble with a "once" young dolly who thought she was all that"maybe 15 years ago " buddy told her the straight goods. Next morning she complained to company that their pilots were drinking within 8 hrs(14) pulled off the flightline, and DH'd to YYZ for the carpet dance. Had the receipt with time and date, sent on our way with the" how would you do this better talk.......My F/O understood then why whenever I was asked what I do, the answer was sell insurance " do you have term of whole life? " then people left me alone.
