Absolutely concur.
Maybe the fact that this incident happened on the doorstep of ICAO (based in Montreal) will help them understand that this is an issue that needs their attention and to report on progress: 15 years has passed since the following resolution
2001
A33-12: Harmonization of drug and alcohol testing programmes
Whereas ICAO has for over 50 years effectively and efficiently fulfilled its functions in accordance with the Convention on International Civil Aviation;
Whereas the fundamental objectives of the Organization expressed in Article 44 of the Chicago Convention and the functions of the Council expressed in Articles 54 and 55 remain paramount;
Whereas appreciation is expressed to the Council and the Secretary General for the progress made regarding the elimination of substance abuse by personnel in safety related occupations in aviation;
Whereas there is still a need to achieve a consistent policy on the implementation by national authorities of regulations regarding the prevention and enforcement on the abuse of alcohol and drugs by personnel in safety related occupations in aviation;
Whereas the Organization is facing new and rapidly evolving challenges of a technological, economic, social and legal nature;
Whereas the response to these challenges affects the safety of international civil aviation; and
Whereas there is a need for ICAO to meet these challenges effectively;
The Assembly:
Directs the Council to review existing guidance for improvements aimed at helping States to develop consistent prevention and testing programmes.
Directs the Council to study the issues and to develop the necessary ICAO provisions to achieve consistency among the substance testing programmes of Contracting States and enforcement by Contracting States on the abuse of alcohol and drugs by certain safety-sensitive personnel.
Encourages Contracting States to foster consistency with respect to their prevention and testing programmes.
