    The former Asiana Airlines (Now part of Hanjin Group ) and it  
  subsidiaries breathalized before every flight. In fact their pilot strike  
  5 or so years back was mainly to 1) Allow them to carry their gulf clubs as  
  baggage, and 2) Drop the requirement for alchohol screening before each  
  flight. If memory serves I do not think they got either.  
    
   Though, their cockpit culture and training methods (NOT STANDARDS) are  
  still Korea's number one issue. They may not have the frequency of  
  incidents they did in the 80s and 90s, but when they have them, they're a  
  doozie, and the Pilot Unions, Airlines (Cheobo's), and transportation  
  ministry will usually find a convient scapegoat to say the pilots are not  
  at fault.  
    
  ASIANA 214 - It was the 777 A/T system.  
  Jin Air 2216 - Aircraft hit a bird on approach, pilots shut down the wrong  
  engine and collided with wall at the end of the runway. Korean's focus on  
  the wall.  
    
  I digress.
