UA Pilot arrested at Heathriw for allegedly being drunk
Hi,
(I did check and nothing seems to have been posted today)
A United Airlines pilot was arrested on suspicion of being drunk on board a plane at Heathrow Airport on Monday, a Scotland Yard spokesman has said.
The 51-year-old, who has not been named, was breath-tested and taken to London's Heathrow police station.
The plane's departure to Chicago was "imminent", with 124 passengers and 11 crew members on board, when the arrest took place, a Heathrow spokesman said.
Passengers were put on to other planes after the flight was cancelled.
