Don't believe everything you read. When you sign on the dotted line for an Airline job...Pilot, Maintenance, whatever.. you are subject to random testing, or don't take the job.

"Random testing of employees in safety-sensitive positions (defined as those in which incapacity due to drug or alcohol impairment could result in direct and significant risk of injury to the employee, others or the environment) has been determined to be permissible in a number of circumstances, as long as employees are notified that alcohol testing is a condition of employment,”
Our laws are definitely not as strict as the US. They should be though.
