You are crossing a line in pilot quality. Is there really this much of a shortage in qualified pilots? If so I am sure it is because of pay cuts and more work hours. Time off to recharge is a much better option than patch up drugs. The airline mergers should cover the pilot shortages for quite a while. Remember that their are only two crew members in most of the airliners flying today. I say no to drugs in the cockpit! Arnie Allison
