A colleague of mine failed a DAMP test. Blew 0.9. That's right.9, not 0.09. They didn't realise initially that they'd be dead at that reading, if it were accurate.
I certainly hope for the RFDS' sake, that equipment error, false positives, etc, etc have been ruled out BEFORE they sacked the pilot.
ABC TV news at 7 in FNQ, said that the other occupants of the aircraft had been offered counselling (or something similar).
