Read the BBC report guys -
He was arrested on SUSPICION of being drunk or under the influence of drugs eg slurred speech, wobbly gait, flushed & sweating, all possible symptoms of other things though MAN traffic police often go on smell of breath, again could be sign of something else - mouthwash
He was bailed, pending tests
He has to report to Police on Mon for test results - then released or charged, he is not in Court on Mon
MAN is not a BAA airport, it has a high threat level (US airlines, El Al PIA etc) and often the target for undercover 'red top' reporters. Every time a mistake is made, the screw tightens If the relief pilot is exonerated I hope the fact is fully reported. That's one more for the UK DNA database if G dubbaya allows it.
