The person might have a serious problem and his Fellow pilot might be there person who finally gets him the help he needs before he shows up like the guys in 1990 with northwest airlines on Fargo. If someone wants to fly drunk; then yeah. They deserve to go to jail. What I guess I was trying to say is. More help and better situational awareness at the hotel. Stop it before it happens.
Not much the company can do, they're not going to be there for the early show at the outstation. Only PILOTS can serve as the last line of defense.
And there has been plenty of info pushed, nobody can claim they haven't gotten the word on this, especially a ten-year dude at SKW. They talk about it pretty much every year at recurrent.
