Japan Airlines pilots have failed breathalyzer alcohol tests on 19 occasions since August 2017, causing 12 domestic flight delays due to pilot switches, JAL officials have revealed to the Mainichi Shimbun.

I know.. This is also not very good advertising for Japan Airlines.

Sometimes you don't have any other choice but to go with an airline you don't want to use.
Kinda worries me on face value that 12 or 19 caused a direct delay but I'm sure the other 7 were guys either in the sim or where they had a recrew option. Either way guys don't show up to work drunk.
So what is JAL's policy when one of their pilots is caught failing a "company administered" prefight breathalyzer? . . . Do they fire them, or simply give them the day off?
