Local news tells that on 20 Dec in Helsinki two Lufthansa pilots were removed from their B737 cockpit just prior to departure for Germany by the airport police and taken for blood tests. The test was positive and the pilots are no more employed by LH.
Too much of this kind of news recently. Why? Is the system today better at detecting such or are there more drinkers in the cockpit? Bad for us all and personally for the idiots involved, quite a career loss not to mention their megabuck income cut.
