According to Swedish press (google translated/helmsman = FO )


" Capt Breath sample showed a blood alcohol level of 0.68 percent.
Of the other three crew members who were caught blew the 38-year-old helmsman 1.44 per thousand and two cabin attendants 1.04 and 1.84 per thousand.
Later taken blood samples show that two crew members had been 0.4 per thousand, one of the flight attendants 0.8 and copilot 1.2. Prosecutor Camilla Ek Sørensen stresses news agency NTB that a safety margin is then added, which means that the values ​​may in fact be higher.
Suspended from their jobs
The crew worked for the Latvian airline Air Baltic, which would transport over a hundred charter travelers to Crete. They are Latvian citizens. They are suspended from their jobs and Air Baltic is preparing layoffs because of the harm they caused the company.
Oak Sørensen points out that Norwegian rules pilots and cabin crew when they are in Norway, regardless of the rules in their home country. Under Norwegian rules, flight crews not drink alcohol eight hours before going to work and the alcohol limit is 0.2.
- It exposes a large number of people to considerable danger when four of the five crew on a flight are more or less under the influence of alcohol, she says."
