They wanted to know the results of the test before honoring the FOI request. Had they tested positive, it might have been another it is a personnel matter, nothing will be released.

They are subject to testing.

I wonder about the original reports too, Pilot Error.

Hummm If the powers to be really wanted to know if our Air traffic controllers were using drugs it seems to me they would use the hair test…they say it goes back 90 days…Impossible to cheat… users can’t clean-up quickly…and easy to test.

It also seems to me that even in the football world of today they do random drug test. Air traffic controllers would be a job that drug testing should be done.

But I guess in the middle of the night not much is on TV… so what else can you do in the tower?

I just don’t think that the original reports of mj in the tower are accurate. All the tests are saying that there is no mj in the controllers.

Soooo, since the FAA won’t tell the public the facts. It seems possible (likely?) there could be weed smokers on duty and the Feds allowed them to remain on duty.

I would sure hate to fly while some dude on the ground who is higher than my plain is directing the traffic.
