    So did the pilots have to get pissed / blood tested within 6 hrs ? Fill out a accident report ? Call safety dept ?? Get as many pictures as they could ?? How do they handle this .

    The feds will be investigating this, just like they do everything involving commercial air travel.

    DOT treats pilots the same as truck drivers when it comes to drug testing. Airlines are allowed to implement more stringent tests than the DOT minimum requirements.

    You do know that the DOT covers all transportation workers in a safety sensitive job?

    Probably built by Wabash, they’ll use a combination of Gorilla Glue and Gorilla tape.

    As long as they can get the entire crew and passengers intoxicated they won’t have to worry about getting sued :)

    FAA just finished their audit of Southwest and ordered all pilots to more training. I guess they’ve had too many close calls lately. Like one just recently of a 737 flying 150 above Tampa Bay.

    Delta probably going to get audited also. At least I hope so because I fly Delta a lot.
