To come back to the topic; NO once a drug user is not always a user. And snorting up some cocaine ONCE wont makes you any less of a pilot. The uncomfortable point here is that an airman must maintain a high moral standard to operate within his profession and Luis Morales APPERANTLY did not. Further disturbing is that the Judge let him of too easy rather than to investigate further. To top it all of the pilot actually found an operator who hired him, scary
!!! At the first suspicion of anything like that at the majors you'd be out before you know what has happened to you. Don't get me wrong now, I don't mean to trash the pilot R.I.P, but there have been too many unprofessional "hick ups" on this flight.
