Two United Pilots Arrested On Alcohol Charges

Two United Airlines pilots were arrested on Saturday on suspicion of being under the influence of alcohol as they prepared to take-off from Glasgow Airport in Scotland.

Police said the two pilots will appear in court on Monday.

Police Scotland said the alleged offences were under the Railways and Transport Safety Act 2003, which relates to carrying out pilot function or activity while exceeding the prescribed limit of alcohol.

The flight to Newark Airport took off nearly 10 hours late with a new crew.
