Failed drug test implications?

Once a druggie always a druggie, I could care less about their work performance since the time they got caught.

Thanks for the input, I will pass it along to him. Well normally I would temper Mike's last comment a little, but he does deserve to hear it straight from the prespective from someone in Mike's position.
To me he seems like good guy (was my study partner for semesters of calc 1&2) who grew up when he figured out what he had done wrong, but I can see the why take a chance attitude. He is working on his ME degree and just wondered if he had slammed the door on himself or not.
Thanks

Mike,
I can see your point and in todays world there is not a lot of incentive to cut anyone any slack. However let me just say this about that; if you had been around this industry in the late 70's or early 80's the culture that existed then (pre-FFD) lent itself to a wide open existence. There are many folks who reigned in their lifestyles and adapted and are now in positions of management and some who never did and are no longer in the business.
Point being, some folks can clean up their act. ;) Just my opinion I could be wrong.
Fermi2:
Maybe he hasn't, again it depends on the utility and won't even be considered until after the 5 year point. I'll give you an example, I know a guy who was one heck of an asset to his utility. In fact he was well thought of. He had an "issue" and his unescorted access revoked. It's been 8 years and still no one will touch him, and he has far more skills than an excellent technician. The real question is why take a chance on someone who knowingly violated an FFD rule when those rules are very black and white to begin with, when you get can someone who hasn't violated the rules? Put another way, there is tremendous competition for any job in this industry, look at the people asking for advice on this board then multiply it by 100. When we screened resumes for our last NLO Bid we screened it down to TWO HUNDRED before we even attempted final screening. Now given that many people, the majority of which have never had an FFD issue why would I even consider someone who has had their chance and blew it?
