Contingent on the charge/evidence you’d think? Requires a sponsor. About 10 pilots a month enroll year to year on average. They claim 90% success for those achieving completion.
Hims is a rehabilitation agreement with the faa/dot. It’s a progression ladder that puts ideal case airmen into an 8 year minimum, immediate notice, sample clean & go regimen. Provisional release to long term monitoring (biannual eval by a hims AME) in perpetuity. Typical hims eval triggers are initial or random sample fails, dui arraignment, refusal to test. DMV bac .15 or higher is straight into program hopper threshold.
Drinks are served legally almost anywhere crews layover. Billions of people across the planet enjoy alcoholic beverages, dare I say, habitually. Pilots are people. Stopping before the line gets crossed has never been simple math. When it comes to reporting for duty, hard to be too paranoid about hims.
