Are controllers given medical substance abuse tests after an incident
like this?

They may be.


Do you have any idea what criteria are used to determine if such
medical tests will be required?



With an attitude like this:

"We're human beings and we do make mistakes," said Bob Marks, vice
president for the regional office of the National Air Traffic
Controllers Assn.

That's NATCA. They generally say stupid things. They can't help it,
they're a union.

Does Mr. Marks represent you?
