Does the airline industry have a similar routine to the railway as to testing for alcohol when reporting for work? I am breathalysed on a random basis about 2/3 times a month when booking on and the limit (I think) is 12 micrograms/100 ml of breath, about a third of the road limit.

My personal maxim is no alcohol in the 36 hours preceding a working day. Not worth it.

Would flight crew welcome such a testing regime if one does not already exist?
