I'm not a huge fan of drug testing policies - but I can see where they are advantageous and necessary in certain industries. Aviation certainly falls in that category, imo.
Do you really want a high FA on board when you find out the guy next to you is an angry drunk? Or when you have a heart attack in the middle of your flight? Or when you need to evacuate a burning aircraft?
I don't. I could care less what the burger flipper at Wendy's is smoking, but I definitely prefer to have sober FA's.
