Aeromexico Pilots drunk at SJO

Pilotos ebrios iban a volar avión con 101 pasajeros de San José a México - SUCESOS - La Nación (In Spanish)
Translation...

Aeromexico Flight crew tried to fly a plane carrying 101 passengers from Costa Rica to Mexico, the rest of the crew stopped them and reported the crew to airport authorities said the deputy director of Civil Aviation, Alvaro Vargas.

The official said the plane, a Boeing 737-700, was scheduled to leave Saturday afternoon from the Juan Santamaria Airport to the Federal District of Mexico, but the flight was delayed for almost 24 hours because the company had to send another crew.

"I believe that passengers were unaware of the flight delay. They were told something else" he added.

From Mexico, the airline confirmed that pilot's conditions "were not suitable for flying and that they were separated from their duties "at least until the end of the investigation.

On Monday it was reported that upon arrival on Saturday at the airport, the two pilots said they felt "dizzy, nauseous and had stomach pain, seven hours after having a party at the hotel."

********

A very serious situation happened again. According to a post of Aeromexico in FB, both pilots are separated...contacts in Mexico said both pilots are going to get sacked. Very sad!
