"According to the National Council on Alcohol and Drug Dependency, 105,000 Americans die annually from alcohol-related causes which could include everything from falls to drunk driving accidents to cirrhosis of the liver. For comparison sake, there are 365,000 tobacco-related deaths in the U.S. each year. For more information"

Drugs are bad...mmmkay. It's safer to stick to with the legal ones....mmmkay.

My company has just initiated "extended background checks" because we deal with highly personal and sensitive information. These background checks focus on criminal, credit, and drug testing. QUOTE]

Hope it's not my personal and sensitive information they are dealing with if they are on drugs.

There is a reason for the tests in the first place, maybe getting around it isn't the right answer.

it might be.. the company is Hewitt Associates... an HR consulting and benefit outsourcing company... most of the client list is Fortune 500 and large companies.. we manage, administrate, consult on pension info, 401k, HR issues,... basically people's money, benefits, retirement, and medical issues.
I figure the people who fail the background checks brought it upon themselves.

Flying is like marriage...years of boredom, punctuated by moments of shear terror. The "buzz" doesn't go away...you have just built up a tolerance.

Well I plan to do it til I am good and bored. Then maybe I will have to ingest/inhale/inject toxins for fun. One high at a time is my thought!
well, if you get bored, step out of the vehicle. Nothing kills boredom like tossing away a perfectly good airplane.

We're talking about skydiving...not suicide!

Get in and give it a try...it's the most fun you'll ever have at 120 knots.

I bet a tester lives for the day to see someone come in for a drug test that doen't have a lick of hair on his body, smells like ammonia, and needs the 64oz piss cup.

OMG, I just pictured that...:)

It hasn't for me in 23 years in aviation. Now, there's been a lot of gas passed over those years, homebrewed hefeweizen mixed with soy nuts taking the prize, for certain!
