Once upon a time, nobody smoked dope who entertained visions of flying for a living

Apparently you've never heard the phrase, "No smoking within 8 hours of flying, and no drinking within 50 feet of an aircraft."

Let's not pretend the "Golden Age of Aviation" was much more than a bronze statue.
 
I know of a guy who had taken fake pee into a "Whiz Quiz" at a Regional I flew at. Last I heard he eventually got his medical back and is flying at some Dog Ball 135 Company.

This excellent, thank you. I’m not a frequent user so refraining is not a problem. This was a single moment of weakness and I paid dearly for it. I’m absolutely willing to atone for my mistake and make it right. I am/was in a flying career with a second class medical. This was supposed to be for a pre employment dot drug test. I thought it was odd I wasn’t tested when I was hired a year ago. But didn’t think much of it at the time. It was only after I returned from the vacation I took for a funeral they noticed it wasn’t in my file and subsequently scheduled it. I’m ashamed I didn’t try to work it out with my employer beforehand.

I am sympathetic to folks on many of these things, but if you were in a flying career and didn’t take a pre-employment, you should know you still get randomed. That alone is inexcusable imo.

You say you’re not a “frequent” user, but immediately following you say it was a “single moment” of weakness. Which is it?

You said you held a class II. Curious what sort of job this was.

Again, I’m not usually in the anti screw-up camp, but this one is odd.
