SAS-pilot stoppades
SAS pilot caught drunk last sunday. His skipper phoned base night before the morning flight LHR-OSL and the drunk pilot was taken off duty. "A personal tragedy is behind this incident", says SAS spokesperson.
The pilot was escorted home by collegues on another flight and is in a depressed and bad condition.
"Alcoholism is something that is present in our society, and there is no reson to believe that is not represented among our 2.000 pilots. However, due to our routines we can spot alcoholism at a much earlier stage than in the society in general. I canīt recall this kind of incident has ever happened in SAS before".
