A new breathalyzer was introduced in August last year in Japan, but Japan Airlines pilots have failed the test 19 times since then. A reporter from a newspaper stated that there had been 12 domestic flight delays due to this problem. Japan Airlines pilots were found to be 10 times over the legal alcohol limit back in October at London Heathrow airport. There were some pilots who were arrested but another reporter stated that many of the pilots are not tested before a flight. Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways had a meeting with the Japanese government where the representatives made a public apology and took responsibility for the actions. New regulations include no drinking 24 hours before a flight, alcohol inspection on the ground, and a 20% pay cut due to the pilot who got arrested.
