two ATC staff who had been banned for drink driving.
That sounds like they were already employed.......back in the day and all that
I have no insight,but why not phone HR ...use a false name if you wish..and ask them? .
Quite a few airfields have VCR's which are airside and would certainly require a valid driving licence to gain access. Bear in mind as well that ATC is a responsible career and you are liable to random breath testing...so stay off the sauce when you are between shifts.
NATS operates a strict Drugs and Alcohol Policy and Procedure, and does not tolerate the consumption, possession or sale of illegal drugs. ATCO roles are considered Safety Critical and are subject to random drugs and alcohol testing throughout their career, including training. ATCOs and Student ATCOs are required to comply with the Railways and Transport Safety Act 2003, the act sets out a prescribed limit of 9 micrograms per 100 millilitres of breath for alcohol.
An ATCO or Student ATCOs will be deemed as committing an offence if they perform an aviation function when the proportion of alcohol exceeds the prescribed limit. At all other times NATS operates a strict limit of 35 micrograms per 100 millilitres of breath for alcohol, this includes when employees are in non-operational classroom and simulator training.
