Heard from 2 northwest pilots today in montreal that the american pilots have not only had their passports retained, but that they are under arrest. Why ? Because they were flying at the wrong flight level for the direction of flight, off the airways and DID NOT HAVE THEIR TRANSPONDER ON, meaning that they had no TCAS availability. It could be baloney, could be true,but THEY clipped the GOL 737, not the other way around.......
