Last year 22 commercial airline pilots in the US tested positive for alcohol use, up from nine in 2001, and nine pilots have tested positive so far this year, according to a report in The Australian.
How many of them failed the blood alcohol test. If there were 22, we'd have heard about it. At least several of the guys that recently tested "positive" on the breathalyzer (at the behest of the tsA drone that "caught" him), were subsequently found well below the limits on the blood test. Funny how THAT never makes the headlines.
The tsA should stick with what it knows best. Groping crotches on flight attendants, kids and the elderly as well as pilfering small tools and toiletries from flight crew........
