Honest question: why aren't pilots forced to take alcohol tests before flights? There was some JetBlue incident about 10 years ago, IIRC.

- toomuchtodo 8y agoAre forced alcohol tests given anywhere?
- sn41 8y agoNot that I know of. Mandatory drug testing in sports is now common. When operating heavy machinery, and when a lot of lives are at stake, I feel some safety procedures are called for.
- kalleboo 8y agoIn some places bus drivers have mandatory breathalyzer testing at the start of their shift.
- LeonM 8y agoThey are, but not for every flight. I've been told by pilots flying in Europe they get randomly selected for a breathalyzer test once every 20 flights or so.
