Travel News - Classy UK tab headline says it all: "Thish ish your pilot shpeaking"

GUN cops swooped on a Heathrow airliner because the pilot reeked of BOOZE as he prepared to take off with 300 passengers.

Dad-of-two Michael Harr, 62 — who had been to a Christmas party the night before — was breath-tested and hauled out of the cockpit of the Boeing 777.

He was marched off the flight to Mumbai in India as colleagues preparing for the 4,400-mile, nine-hour trip watched in horror.

.......was breath-tested and hauled out of the cockpit of the Boeing 777.but gotta love the photo in the article...it's a '37. i hate when that's done-just like when the local tv stations here in sf show footage of ua flights at sfo and you see 727's......how long have they been out of svc with ua? :rolleyes:

A photo of tubby Harr posing in his cockpit and looking red-faced appears on the Facebook website.

The former Delta Airlines pilot, who lives in Griffin, Georgia, boasts in his profile: “This old marine is still flying for $$$ after over 40 + yrs.” He goes on to joke: “Do it till I get it right.”

Hehe, nice catch.

I love British journalism.

Passengers on Sunday’s Jet Airways flight — which was delayed until a replacement pilot was found — included relatives of people killed and injured in the Mumbai massacre last month.

...and this is relevant how? ;)

Oh, and with all due respect to the OP, there's absolutely nothing classy about the Sun. :D

Because most cops in the UK don't carry guns (though the airport cops do)
