Many aviation companies around the world already implement this testing. I had this for a couple of years. You arrive at work by the company minibus, clear security, then straight to the nurses office for the breathalyser. No big deal.
And yes, some people were caught out and sent home.
If you turn up to fly an aircraft with passengers, drunk, or even possibly affected by alcohol, you dont deserve to be in the air.
