'For Allegedly Violating Drug And Alcohol Testing Regulations...'

The FAA has proposed a $67,050 civil penalty against Wing Over L.A., of Van Nuys, Calif., for allegedly violating drug and alcohol testing regulations.

Wings Over L.A. has 30 days after receiving the FAA’s enforcement letter to respond to the agency.
