For the last 5 years living in the US, I have been required both as volunteer pilot and as an employed pilot to submit to random drugs and alcohol tests. The few times I have been called to go for a test, I haven't found it remotely stressful. I can't see what on earth would be stressful about peeing into a bottle, apart from trying to get it go to in the damn thing. Not easy for the "fairer sex", I'll tell you!
Someone mentioned the problem of the inaccuracy of the results. Any exact facts or figures available on that?
In the initial post, the comment was made that " subject to random Alcohol and Drugs testing as soon as we check in for a flying duty" Is there any point in doing it at any other time?
I really can't see what all the fuss is about. If you're genuinely over the limit, you're done for, and so you should be; if you're under the limit, who cares anyway?
