It has been confirmed that two United Airline pilots were arrested for allegedly being drunk before they were scheduled to fly 141 passengers to Newark Airport from Scotland. This arrest took place at the Glasgow Airport. The two men were 35 and 45. “The two pilots have been removed from service and their flying duties,” United spokeswoman Erin Benson said. “We are cooperating with the authorities and will conduct our own investigation as well. The safety of our customers and crew is our highest priority.” The flight was delayed for nearly 10 hours while the airline attempted to find replacement pilots.
