Under FAA regulations the company is required to conduct pre-employment drug testing and receive a negative test result for marijuana, cocaine, opiates, phencyclidine (PCP), and amphetamines or a metabolite of those drugs in your system before the company hires you to fill an “FAA Covered Position.”

If you do not wish to submit to drug testing, you may withdraw your application now or at any time. Any testing will be conducted at the Company’s expense. If you refuse to submit to a pre-employment drug test, the Company will reject your application for employment for any “FAA Safety Sensitive Position or Non-Safety Sensitive Position.”
