Why the fuss
...seems all the one complaining must have something to hide. Lets see it from a different perspective. I need to have an operation so I go to the hospital. One door says " Doctor fit to perform any operation. No drugs or alcohol related background found." The second door reads. "Doctor. Alcohol and drug test not performed ,Doctor's Union requested delay to this tests. Court granted it."
Now you have to choose which door to knock at. What would you do?
Last but not least, the very next day your daughter or son need to be hospitalized also....Of course the first door is not a guarantee but at least makes you feel more relaxed. That is the way passengers should feel when they put their lives in our hands. We are not afraid of flying. Don't forget, passengers are.
Please lets accept the fact that even the accidents related to this two substances is low, that does not mean the checks are wrong. This should be done not only to a pilot but to anyone willing to get a job ANYWHERE around the world( this not to hurt Egos about nationalities ) and of course with regular random checks as well. THAT would be fair!
K now you can fire back .....
Be good in the mean time.
