LOS ANGELES — Federal air-safety regulators have proposed fining United Airlines $584,375 for allegedly failing to properly perform drug tests on workers in safety-sensitive areas.
The Federal Aviation Administration on Friday accused the airline of transferring 13 employees to safety-sensitive positions before it received the results of their drug and alcohol tests. The FAA also cited United for allegedly failing to use a scientifically valid method to make sure that each member of the airline’s flight crew had an equal chance of being selected for a random drug and alcohol test.
