Surely prevention is better! on the Japanese rail system Train drivers have to blow into a breath test machine when signing in for duty first thing.
It would be an easy thing to do the same for pilots going through security airside. Items jackets belts etc through the scanning machine blow into the breath test equipment? Job done no more drunk pilots.
We have to be checked for weapons or anything we may take airside which could threaten the safety of aircraft why not alcohol?
