Clean or not.

Post by Mighty »

Investigation bureau TNO thinks that 5 to 8 percent of the Dutch pilots and cabin personal regularly use alcohol. Also they think that 0.3 to 1.3 percent uses drugs like XTC and cocaine. If that isn’t enough they also say that some pilots use medicine that are not aloud to use during flight.

What is known in general about these kind of things?
Now they are talking about Dutch people, but why do people in this position do these kind of things!! I can not understand that!!

Well like always this is just based on expectations and not on proven facts. Believe me, when a pilot in Holland should do those kind of things he will be caught during his medical, if not I am sure collegues or airport police will grap them one day. Why do they do it............pilots are also human.
