1) Nothing special about the fact that police officers who arrested the pilot were armed. All police officers working at Heathrow are armed by default so obviously, the officer who arrested him was armed!
2) Why is that the majority of the drunk pilots cases involve Americans. remember American West, remember the United airlines pilot at heathrow, remember the American captain of the Virgin Flight from washington, remember the American Airlines First officer at Manchester etc
3) He should be sacked, he gets paid a ton of money and should know his responsibilties. He should have been carted off to india where the street crowds would have "pitaayed" him and knocked some sense into him!
I don't get it . . . Assume he was drinking hard until 230a. How can you still be over the limit 7 hours later?!? What a p!ss-tank. These clowns work like 10 mornings a month and can't stay off the bottle.

Thumbs up to the security personnel who are doing more than simply harassing passengers. Until I looked at the lin, I thought the pilot was an Indian. I am sure there are Indians who don't know when not to drink or when to stop.
