Greetings,
AFA-CWA members, as well as all other safety professionals in the transportation industry, are subject to federally mandated and regulated drug testing, commonly called "DOT" drug testing. The attached document is AFA-CWA's Flight Attendant's Rights and Responsibilities for DOT Drug Testing. You can download it by using Adobe Reader. If your computer does not have Adobe Reader, you can download Adobe Reader free at www.adobe.com . This information is also available on our MEC website at www.afaeagle.org . This booklet answers basic questions about DOT testing. It is important to remember that employers may have their own company drug testing program which may vary from and be in addition to DOT testing. The information contained in this booklet does not cover your Company policy. American Eagle's drug and alcohol policy and procedures can be accessed by logging on to Jetnet, click on Policies and Procedures, then click on the Quick Link to Drug & Alcohol Policy. You are strongly encouraged to review your company's policy. Violation of your airline's rules may lead to disciplinary action. You may also be permanently barred from working as a flight attendant if you violate the DOT testing standards. DOT alcohol testing began in January 1995 after it was mandated by Congress. It is important to note that this pamphlet does not cover alcohol testing. Information regarding DOT alcohol testing is discussed in a separate booklet. Please review the information contained in this pamphlet. If you have any questions regarding your airline's drug testing program, policies and procedures, call your local AFA leaders. If you have any questions about DOT testing regulations or a concern about drug use, you are invited to call the International AFA EAP Department at 800-424-2406. All of your questions and concerns will be confidential.
