Indonesia fears drugs have become part of airline pilots' "lifestyle"
A wave of pilots caught with meth in Indonesia has brought the government's drug czar to a terrifying conclusion: drugs have become part of Indonesian pilots' "lifestyle."
The most recent of several incidents involved a pilot with domestic carrier Lion Air discovered high on methamphetamine just three hours before a 6:15 a.m. flight, the Jakarta Post reports.
That arrest and others have the National Narcotics Agency's chief declaring that a "large number" of pilots rely on drugs.
