Drug test EASA class 1 initial
Anyone who’s been for an EASA initial class one medical recently please can you confirm if the drug test was a mouth swab or urine sample? I’ve heard it’s a mouth swab and just wanted clarification. Unfortunately during a spate of covid mouth swabs last year I’ve developed some sort of phobia. I can’t stand anyone putting anything near my mouth now, it physically makes me sick.

Hmm, i do enjoy flying low cost short haul. No tests needed, just my digital vaccination passport. Whether that is safe or not, different question.
When i did my initial medical there was no drug test, a few years later they started with drug tests (back then only company required) and required applications to have at least 2cm of hair for that test. Yes, on the head please, no curly stuff.

I had a drug test last year for a role with the police... I assumed they'd pull a couple of hairs out, and was horrified when the lady taking them said she needed a couple of hundred for the sample... Absolutely crapped myself, thought "bloody hell, this is going to hurt!"
Then she produced a pair of scissors and I realised I'd jumped to a really stupid conclusion!
