Drugs and Booze

Have you people been living on a different planet lately?

In the past year at least 3 crew members have recieved jail sentences for being intoxicated in aircraft.

The newish regulations are a limit of 0.2 as laid down in the transport act. That basically means almost total abstinence for the majority of operating crew (working a normal shorthaul roster).

Any newbee wanting a career in this business must accept that the old idea of crews partying the night away has long gone.

I am not a do gooder, just a realist.

Drug taking of any kind is just not tolerated and whether or not you believe that pot is better or worse than alcohol has absolutely nothing to do with it. If you get caught you will loose your job and may end up in prison.
