Two crewmembers from a BA flight between OSL and LHR on november the 11th 2003 have been sentenced to a jailterm in the Eidsvoll court.
In 2003 the police stated that the Captain, the FO and the Purser blew red when they were breathalyzed, but in the judgement handed down yesterday, it became apparent that the Captain had not been drunk. He still got a six month jail sentence because he was aware that 2 other crew-memebers were under the influence of alcohol and the safety on board was his responsibility.
The female Purser got 45 days, while the case against the FO has been postponed.
The reason the Captain got such a heavy sentence was because the Eidsvoll court gave great importance to the fact that the Captain, as the highest authority on board, was responsible for the crew being fit to execute their jobs.
The police was called in by BA's own ground staff, and bloodtest showed the Purser to have a blood alcohol promille of 1.02 while the FO had a promille of 1.34.
