A BOOZED-UP British Airways captain and his co-pilot were arrested yesterday just before their jet was due to take off.
William McAuliffe, 50, and David Ryan, 26, were hauled off the plane and thrown in a cell by cops after failing a cockpit breath test.
The London-bound flight’s purser Michele Giannandrea, 48 — said to have been in a club with the pilots hours before — was also held in Oslo, Norway.
Some of the trippers waiting to board the 200-seater Airbus told ground staff they were worried about the state of some crew members.
