One Half Of One Percent of Aviation Employees Test High, Less Are Drunk

The Federal Aviation Administration is going to keep its current rate of alcohol and drug testing, because last year, less than one percent of employees tested positive for drugs. Even less tested positive for alcohol. It's interesting to see that the current standards require a random testing of 25% of employee for drugs, but just 10% of employees for alcohol.

...Pursuant to 14 CFR part 121, appendix I, section V.C, the FAA Administrator's decision on whether to change the minimum annual random drug testing rate is based on the reported random drug test positive rate for the entire aviation industry. If the reported random drug test positive rate is less than 1.00%, the Administrator may continue the minimum random drug testing rate at 25%. In 2003, the random drug test positive rate was 0.56%. Therefore, the minimum random drug testing rate will remain at 25% for calendar year 2005. Similarly, 14 CFR part 121, appendix J, section III.C, requires the decision on the minimum annual random alcohol testing rate to be based on the random alcohol test violation rate. If the violation rate remains less than 0.50%, the Administrator may continue the minimum random alcohol testing rate at 10%. In 2003, the random alcohol test violation rate was 0.10%. Therefore, the minimum random alcohol testing rate will remain at 10% for calendar year 2005.

Yeah and even when pilots are tested for alcohol or weed they can still get off the hook. Check out this site http://www.pass-alcohol-test.com/ --- you'll see.
