99% of us don't need to worry at all - it's those that drink daily and excessively.

and

If you are not a habitual abuser then it would appear you don't have to worry
Etc, etc. That's like saying of speed cameras and security cameras all over the UK, well if you don't do anything wrong you have nothing to worry about.

Amongst the changes, the following regulations referring to Alcohol Misuse have been introduced.
Does that really mean amongst the GCAA's changes, EK has slid in the following regulations? Why isn't there any chatter about this system being introduced to flydubai and Air Arabia and the forgotten down the road?

Why not publish the extract of the regulations for us to read for ourselves instead of acting as the mouthpiece? I've never before worked in a company where they don't want you reading the federal regs or making direct contact with the regulator. Because they have so much to hide and because they are control freaks.

iii. Referral following an aviation incident or work related issue
Interesting, what does that mean? Maybe if you make too many waves with awkward questions when no longer able to tolerate the latest management bull**** at the end of the RTGS day (except weekends when they cannot be bothered showing up) and you may find yourself up for some alcohol testing because you obviously have a problem.

Should also add that IMO FR is a good Dr who was simply advising us of the new requirements and possible pitfalls.
She presides over the compromises with which the medical system is riddled = sell-out.
