Surely a "reasonably robust process" wouldn't allow a pilot with alcohol in their system anywhere near a flight deck? A "robust process" would breathalyse all flight crew before they started work.
What a preposterous suggestion.
Because of course, ALL flight crew are so untrustworthy as to require mandatory testing before each and every flight.
We should do the same for all train, bus and tram drivers as well. Let's not forget taxi drivers, oh hang it ALL drivers. Motorcyclists and bicyclists too.
Hell, doctors and nurses are untrustworthy and have peoples lives in their hands, test each and every one of them before they go to work.
Let's err on the side of safety and test everyone before they leave their house. Then wrap them in bubble wrap in case they fall over....
