I see it on occasion (thankfully RARE). Someone will be taking 2+ weeks vacation and they are excited that on day one they will use drugs because by the time they return to duty it will be out of their system. The fact that she used drugs on her last day of duty while still on duty is pretty terrible.
The biggest problem here is the exercise of really bad judgement. I'm pretty open-minded about weed, but not for safety-sensitive jobs.
She might want to apply to Tommy Lee's flight department...they have a drug test too, but it's not quite the same as the DOT...
