American Airlines pilot about to fly from UK to US arrested on suspicion of being drunk

An American Airlines pilot has been arrested on suspicion of being drunk a few minutes before he was scheduled to take off from the UK's Manchester Airport.

Officers were called shortly before 11 a.m. local time Thursday after receiving a report that a pilot "may have been under the influence of alcohol," according to a statement from Greater Manchester Police.

A 62-year-old man was arrested and has been bailed pending further inquiries, police said.

The unnamed pilot was due to fly from Manchester to Philadelphia at 11:05 a.m. local time, but flight AA735 was canceled in the wake of his arrest, according to the UK's Press Association news agency.

CNN has contacted American Airlines for comment.

Pilots are allowed to have up to 20 milligrams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood in their body. Drivers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland are allowed as much as 80 mg.

The arrest is the latest in a string of incidents involving pilots and alcohol.

In November, a Japanese pilot found to be more than nine times over the legal alcohol limit before a scheduled flight from London Heathrow was sentenced to 10 months in a UK prison.

Katsutoshi Jitsukawa, 42, an employee of flag carrier Japan Airlines, was scheduled to fly from Heathrow to Tokyo on October 28, but failed a breath test shortly before takeoff.

Reacting to the sentencing, Inspector of Aviation Policing Iain Goble condemned the "serious" offense that could have had "catastrophic" consequences.

"This conviction reflects he displayed not only total disregard for the safety of all the passengers and staff on his flight, but also the wider public," Goble said.

In late October, All Nippon Airways said sorry after a pilot fell ill following a night of heavy drinking and caused delays to five domestic flights.

And in June, experienced British Airways pilot Julian Monaghan was jailed for eight months after he was found to be more than four times over the alcohol limit before a flight from London Gatwick to Mauritius.

Reerun as a pilot, can you confirm that the earth is in fact a sphere?

Yes I can confirm. At FL470-490 you can start seeing the curve on the distant horizon. Plus if it was flat there wouldn’t be a need for Polar routes.

795 mph IAS at ~35,000 feet isn't above mach one?

[Reerun_KC]

Ditto on stage. Walked out with a cane. Sat down and said "that is far as I go"
That fall really did him in physically.

His kid was awesome on the drums.

[Reerun_KC]

Pretty quiet group. They landed in Dallas from New Zealand. We picked them and headed to FL.

[Reerun_KC]

I did shake his hand and he said “Thanks for the flight my friend.” I said “ you’re welcome buddy, have a great day”.

I had a customer about 15 years ago who was a pilot for continental. I was coming back from Santa Domingo in the DR in 2006 and was walking towards customs in Newark and he taps me on the shoulder and said hi in his captain uniform lol he had just flown in from Cancun. You ever run into people you know, Mr. professional pilot sir? I’d really wish herm would fly on your plane lol
