This question is about Southwest Airlines.
Yes, Southwest Airlines conducts a drug test prior to an offer of employment. In addition, Southwest Airlines reserves the right to drug test an employee at any time if substance use is suspected or if a workplace accident occurs.
If a drug test is required and the result is positive, that can void any worker's compensation claims and can result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.
To avoid potential problems, it is best to prepare for the possibility of being drug tested and stop any use of illicit substances for several weeks before applying for a job.
