I was called last week to go take mine again too. I am hoping this means they have a date to give me soon and they just needed the new drug test first.

Got yall beat, I had to retake the test this past month. But I could not go enough during the test. Well, once you start you have to finish, you can not leave is what they told me. I had to go fly in 35 min, I was lucky to get out of there and make my flight. They would not let me go, held my license till the faa lady said it was ok that I could reschedule. After review of why I did not give enough, I ran a marathon the day before and I only filled the cup up 1/3 not the 1/2 they needed. Thats a big cup!!
So, in short, drink lots of water, and be really to stay if you do not go enough.

Once you called the 866-...... number how long was it before they got you scheduled to take the test? Did you get to tell them what day, or do they force you to go on a specific day? I'm trying to figure out because i'm all over the place for the holidays.

Well, I am a little uneasy today, bc I have to put in my two week notice in the next few days. I still dont have a FOL, but I have been told by different people I am in my class. They can not give me my FOL till they get the results of my drug test. I have a feeling I just might get my FOL and packet when I show up on the first day
anic:.
Side note: My last drug test is still good, why not use that till you get the new results????

I am scheduled to start terminal basis 2-9 and I got an email today regarding my drug test. It expires on 1-23 (2 days from now) & I have to have the results to them before I will be authorized to attend the academy. I emailed my HR rep almost a month ago asking if I would have to retake it. I never got a reply. Hopefully this is the last hoop to jump through:banghead:.

Follow it from the source -
Find out who the testers sent it to -
The lab info is on the sheet they gave you.
Ask them when they sent it to the regional medical division -
Then call the regional medical division and find out if they have it, and when they will send the results to your HR rep -
Then call your HR rep, tell them when the RMD sent it over, and confirm they have it.
If you babysit it the whole way through, that should help.
good luck

Word. I had the same problem. Sucked for me because I wanted my FOL before I left for my wedding and honeymoon. At least my FOL was ready when I got back. But for me it was exactly 2 weeks on the dot. Wonderful process. I've already had to take more drug tests for this job, before I was actually hired, than I had taken in my life up to this point. But once you get your FOL feel free to dance a little jig...I sure did!:nana2:
Do you happen to know the number to the regional medical division?

Click on your region. If you have a TOL, you can call the # listed in the TOL packet for scheduling/status of your medical. It is the same office.

They do the test on the spot and send the results back to the FAA. Unless the lab is backed up they probably have it done in 24 hours or less.
