The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said it wanted to fine the company a total of $7.1m (£3.8m).
It said two MD-83 passenger jets were used on dozens of flights in 2007, even though repair work reported as necessary by pilots had not been done.
Problems with drug and alcohol testing were also found, officials said.

I guess quite a few more westerners are caught drinking as has been reported on pprune forums.
As to the "rag" quote, IMHO the British press should stop stirring trouble - it does not benefit the relationship between the two countries.
Britain has eaten the humble pie at the hands of Russia so many times since the Crimean War 150 years ago...

well done
there is one thing security is really good at: that is to report and get those stupid pilots arrested.
well done security!!
any pilot who is stupid enough to drink a couple of hours before the flight: their own fault!!!
I hope these 2 idiots never get their licence back
so long

NOV71: Kick the tires(location UK)are you English UK or English US? It may be critical when checking fuel load in gallons.
Your immediate readback of G-STAWs post was inaccurate '..so a(n) interpreter..' but I bough to your communication skills.

With the way Russian politics seems to be highly aggressive and extremely macho
such a comment nobody would ever consider making about a certain north american country, of course....

How many of you have lived in Russia, speak Russian?
I thought not. I'd strongly advise qualifying in the above before making sweeping generalizations.
The crew is innocent until proven guilty.
However lets expect to read through another few pages of misinformed or speculative garbage.
