Awww, man, I wont be taking any AirBaltic flights anytime soon, they have a bunch of lushes on their crews. Yesterday in Oslo Norway, 5 members of an AirBaltic Flight headed for Greece, including the Pilot, co-pilot, and 3 stewardesses all blew more than a 0.2 when given a breathalyzer test. The cops went on the plane because they received an anonymous tip that the crew was drinking. AirBaltic has a zero policy standard, but the industry has a 0.2 standard, so anything over 0.2 and you are too drunk to fly. So it is a crime to be drunk and fly the friendly skies, all 5 crew were taken to the hospital for blood tests to verify just how drunk they were. And since it is a crime to be drunk and fly, all 5 members are now facing criminal charges and if convicted could go to prion for 2 years.
AirBaltic spokesman Janis Vanags told AFP the company had a "zero tolerance" policy with regard to alcohol.
"Zero tolerance means no alcohol," Vanags said. "It's very straightforward - safety is our number one priority."
"There
has been an initial test and that is being followed up with more
detailed tests. When we have the results we will take appropriate
action," he added, offering the company's apologies to customers. Sounds like someone is going to get fired and go to prison, eh? LOL I'm sorry for laughing but it's just crazy. I thought the only drunks worked for American West Airlines? Sigh, oh well. You just never know who is flying your plane, eh?
