SEATTLE � The U.S. Department of
Transportation�s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes a
$266,375 civil penalty against Allegiant Air, LLC of Las Vegas for
allegedly violating drug and alcohol testing regulations. The FAA
alleges Allegiant failed to include in its random drug and alcohol
testing pools 25 employees that it hired or transferred into
safety?sensitive positions. Eleven of these employees performed
safety-sensitive duties on multiple occasions when they were not in the
random pools, the FAA alleges. The FAA also alleges another
employee�s follow-up test was not directly observed after a previous
positive drug test result as required by DOT regulations. That employee
performed multiple safety-sensitive duties following the improperly
observed test, the FAA alleges. Allegiant is scheduled to meet with the FAA in mid-June to discuss the case.
