These things happen all the time I'm afraid. Was she drunk on departure and they 'didn't notice'? Or did she have a bottle on board? I've seen both scenarios with coworkers over the years.

Police were sent to the plane to arrest Julie Birkett, 48, after the pilot alerted air traffic control to her behaviour shortly before landing at Newcastle Airport. She has been sacked by the airline and charged with performing an aviation function whilst unfit through drink. The flight set off from Alicante-Elche Airport in Spain just before 11.40pm local time and arrived into Newcastle Airport at around 1.10am Saturday. Birkett, from Huddersfield, is due to appear before magistrates in North Tyneside on September 4.
A spokesperson for easyJet said they could not comment on an on-going investigation but stressed they had a zero tolerance policy on drugs and alcohol. The spokesperson said: ‘We can confirm that flight EZY6420 from Alicante to Newcastle was met by police at the request of the captain.
