Drug use is now widespread in airline cabin crew and I would suspect that a number of airlines would cease to function if the drug policy of the MoD was to be taken up.

Allmost all of the drug use is on nights off and well away from work but of course some drugs will show up on a test up to three months after use.

I have yet to see anyone turn up for work unfit due to drug use but I cant say that for the booze!

I think that the forces are going to have to take a more pragmatic veiw to "soft" drug use away from duty.
