The pilot must be a superhuman if he can operate the airplane without a trouble after consuming alcohol exceeding of the legal limit significantly. And believing himself as a superhuman, in fact he's not, has him end up in the jail.

But the real darkness of this incident is, according to the ANN news video (in Japanese), he passed through the Japan Airlines' (JAL) internal pre-flight alcohol check. In this way, it is a organizational crime, with the lack of administrative righteousness. And the organization is the flagship carrier of my country....

The Japan Times article says: "JAL normally operates long-haul routes connecting Japan with the United States or Europe with three pilots in the cockpit — two captains and a copilot — so that they can take breaks in turn.". If the drunken pilot takes higher position than the other two in any social extent, or simply older, he could tell other two to operate the airplane all the way to Tokyo, so he can rest himself for the entire flight. Knowing that nature, JAL let him go for the flight??.... Just trying to undo the mystery with my imagination. But it will officially be investigated and sooner or later.

By the way, JAL was once bankrupt in 2010. Their reconstruction was made with the financial aid of 350 billion JPY (approx. 3.5 billion USD) from the national fund.
