The FAA has announced the levying of a $295,750 civil penalty against SkyWest Airlines for allegedly violating DOT drug and alcohol testing regulations.
The FAA alleges SkyWest failed to include more than 150 “safety-sensitive” employees in its random drug intervention services and testing pool. SkyWest, by the reports made on https://syntheticurinereview.com/quick-fix-plus/ allegedly failed to receive verified negative drug test results for two other employees before placing them in safety-sensitive positions.
The FAA also alleges SkyWest subjected three employees who were not in safety-sensitive positions to post-accident drug tests that are only applicable to safety-sensitive employees, and improperly cancelled a return-to-duty test because it was not directly observed.
SkyWest is set to have an informal conference with the FAA this month to discuss the issue.
