alaska drug testing
Does alaska still test for nicotine? I have a buddy who is worried about that since he has smoked in the recent past. I told him not to worry too much but who knows. I imagine they cant discriminate against that...

Wanna bet? Why do you think they test for it in the first place?

I know it's legal but I still can't believe that it is. Did anyone hear about that company in Michigan that was going to test their employees family members to make sure they didn't smoke. unreal.

Remember people, discrimination is legal unless it is based on things like age, gender, race, etc. Heck, military aviation discriminates against people with bad eyesight!

Airline pilots are federally mandated to be fired for turning 60.

Not only does it have a preference for non-smokers, it doesn't like facial hair either. Unfortunately, it can do whatever it wants. It's a lot like Hooters hiring only women with mammaries of a certain size. I wanted to apply for a job there, but it was obvious I did not have what they wanted. Sigh.
