Nothing to do with being a nanny state and the employer responsible.
And everything to do with CASA trying to justfiy their stupid DAMP testing and its associated funding.

If this turns out to be a stuffup and/or a legal use of Meth or whatever they will never send that to the media.

Given the nature of the RFDS I doubt this is some druggo pilot.

It would be some bloke who is struggling doing night shift and probably was given something to keep him awake either legally or not.

The Mt Gambier accident pilot had similar problems and also struggled with nights and it resulted in a fatal accident.

So lets wait for the full investigation and see what happens.

Maybe the RFDS should consider 2 crew ops for late night if guys can't stay awake....
