NPA No. 18 /2014 CAAP 19: AEROMEDICAL
Page 31 and 92
Basically 4/5 drinks per day for 2 weeks or more (eg:during leave) + full blood test CDT... = Bye bye UAE.
It's for all UAE operators not only EK, quite hard yes but it's there and will stay there.
Then when do you get CDT checked? as per FR email, after an incident, maybe during your yearly medical or because a 19y/o GR2 report you.
Simple,
-don't have an incident
-don't do your medical right after your leave
-stop drinking in public or with GR2 (not to be reported)
-stop drinking
Even if you are not a regurlar drinker you have to really look after what you have during your leave....really painfull !
For this year it should be fine, no one as more than 2 weeks leave in a row!
Good luck
