Breathalyser tests are already administered before every flight in India. And pilots still regularly fail the test and get 90 days off for the first offense.

Pilots are going to show up for work drunk, it's an unfortunate fact of life. The days of 'you call in sick and I'll cover for you' are long gone in the U.S. in my opinion. I agree that we need to try to self police but you are right, stronger measures are probably coming.
