(REWIND EFFECT)
SAM: The days of flight school.
Whatever happened to Kim?
BARTENDER: Another round there guys?
SAM: My shout.
JESS: Ah, glass of red thanks.
SAM: Do you want to split a bottle?
JESS: No one glass is enough for me.
SAM: Alright then let’s make that two glasses of red.
Bartender: two reds?
Coming up.
(FAST FORWARD EFFECT)
SAM: OK let me get this right - you jump out of a perfectly good Aeroplane?
JESS: And It’s a rush - Oh, especially that free fall part.
SAM: Oh great, another flesh-bomber.
JESS: Flesh bomber?!
(Laughs) Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it.
SAM: No way – your crazy!
So...what do people do for fun around here?
Is there any where to go?
JESS: Well surprisingly I do know of this little night club around here.
But umm no, its nine o’clock already and I’ve got an early flight.
SAM: Oh come on, one drink, it won’t kill you.
JESS: Alright...but I’m setting my alarm for LOUD at eleven, because I need to be home
by midnight and I’m going to turn into a pumpkin.
SAM: (laughs)
JESS...AND I’m gonna stick to waters so I don’t have to count drinks.
Ok?
SAM: Sounds like a plan
(MUSIC)
JESS: Oh I’m so thirsty!
SAM: So am I
Jess: I know it’s childish but I really love that song!
SAM: I could tell.
This place is alright, who would have thought?
JESS: (Referring to her phone) Ooh…..Iʼm vibrating.
JESS: Alright pumpkin time, letʼs go.
Jess: Ok, gotta go.
Sam: Safe flight!
Jess: yeah, you too.
Alex: My name is Alex, i'm an approved tester authorised under the…(inaudible)
MARK: Didnʼt expect to see them here.
SAM: Neither did I.
Alex: you’ve been randomly selected to undertake a drug and alcohol test.
MARK: Were you out drinking last night?
SAM: Not really.
We went out, but we only had a couple.
She’ll be alright.
Mark: We better get going.
Sam: Yeah yeah just give me a sec
(INAUDIBLE)
ALEX: Do you consent to providing a sample of breath for alcohol testing?
JESS: Yes I do.
What happens if I don’t?
ALEX: Your failure or refusal to provide a sample will be reported to CASA and, subject
to the determination of a CASA Medical Review Officer, CASA may decide to initiate enforcement
action against you.
In the meantime, however, it is important for you to understand that
it would be an offence for you to resume performing or being available to perform, safety sensitive
aviation activity.
JESS: Wow.
Ok, in that case let’s do it.
(FAST FORWARD EFFECT)
ALEX: The result of your alcohol test is negative.
I will now conduct a drug test.
Do you consent
to providing samples of oral fluid for drug testing?
JESS: Yes I do.
ALEX: You are required to swallow or remove any substances from your mouth and you are
to demonstrate to me that your mouth is free from all foreign substances.
Please open your
mouth and show me that your mouth is empty.
JESS: Do I need to say “Ahhh?”
ALEX: You are required to wipe this swab down your tongue or into the corners of your cheeks
with moderate
pressure, using circular movements.
Do you understand my instructions?
JESS: Yes I do.
ALEX: The result of your drug test is negative, so youʼre free to go.
JESS: Cool – thank you.
In the final chapter of this scenario, Sam and Jess knew when to limit
their
alcohol intake and they changed across to water.
It was good to see two aviation professionals
doing the right thing and making sure that they were not tired to go to work the next
day.
