this bathroom thing and various similar scenarios happens to me when im on weed.

Genuinely curious - could heavy marijuana use cause confusion between landing gear and fuel cutoff? Or some other drugs? (Wondering if they screen pilots for alcohol before they board an aircraft.)

  • They don't screen every time but there are spot checks. A pilot with heavy use will certainly get caught

  • The prelim report states these pilots were indeed breathalyzed before takeoff.
