And in typical Australian fashion, the "no nothing public" throw their arms in the air and want pre flight drug and alcahol testing.
And how many tax payers dollars are going to be spent now in the process of enquiring as to whether this is a viable option. people that know nothing of aviation (read politicians) sitting around discussing at graet length, how we are all drugged up drunks, and how they can stop the public from embarking on a trip with a drunk pilot. Better they should concentrate on the roads until they have that problem sorted in my opinion.
You just have to love the fact that anything that involves aircraft in australia negativley, has a huge knee jerk reaction attached to it.
