So I came across this article just now, can’t say I’m too shocked to see it. Recently this has been a common issue where pilots aren’t fit to fly due to intoxication. This is likely going to be putting the colleagues on board aswell as the passengers in a very dangerous situation. So what can be done about it, perhaps breathalyser testing being a requirement before flights? I’m keen to hear your opinions.

What about one of those things cars have, where it won’t start until you blow into a breathalyser and you give a satisfactory breath/blood alcohol reading
It’s a living breathalyser, that’s what it is.
What car has that built in? It’s usualy the police when they suspect someone’s drink driving.
It is usually fitted to cars owned by people charged of previous DUI charges https://www.qld.gov.au/transport/safety/road-safety/drink-driving/penalties/interlocks
