good morning, natalie. all the passengers were on this plane, all
ready to fly
to chicago, when they were suddenly told they were going to have to get off, that their flight was canceled. what they didn't know at the time was that one of the crew members had called the police on the pilot. he was then arrested after reportedly failing a breathalyzer test. now, the faa prohibits pilots from drinking within eight hours prior to flying and their
blood alcohol level
has to be below 0.04. here in the uk, it's 0.02.
united airlines
has suspended 51-year-old irwin washington from oregon pending an investigation, but here he is charged with a crime and will have to appear in court. natalie?
