Hair Sample
 

So i hear my buddy had to give a piece of hair at ASA, beside just a regular pee test what other regionals are doing this?

What....no stool sample???

Yeah he had to drop at ASA but i guess they wanted a hair sample too.

A follical of hair is like a Redwood tree. When cut near the base, the inner rings can tell you all about the tree since its beginning. With that said.......I suggest you get some "Neat hair remover and get busy...LOL...:D.

My bag...I couldn't help it.;)

cfii2007, you've got to change that pic. I can't take ANYTHING you say seriously when you have that pic :D

I still cringe when I think of what she said :D

I interviewed with ASA on the 6/7th of March and I as well as no one I know has had to do this! When did he interview?

Hair Samples
 

Hair is a fairly common way to check for drugs, specifically weed. I've never heard of it being done at an airline, but it is common in other industries.

I heard of a guy who tried to beat the system by removing all hair from his body, even eyebrows. He forgot the one spot he couldn't see--his bung hole.

He got fired--and rightly so. If you smoke weed, I don't want to fly with you, and I don't want to ride in your cabin. Get a job at a gas station or surf shop.

just dont smoke at the gas station.

The DOT NIDA 5 testing is very specific in the way it's done, split sample urine tests. A company could mandate their own testing program but it would have to be for all employees, not just the DOT covered ones.

Must have looked pretty lame going into an interview without eyebrows.. Anyhow, I havent touched weed in years but still figured its in my hair or whatever, and that it would be bogus a dumb decision years ago could ruin my career as i am soley dedicated to aviation and nothing else.

Damn hippies.
