LONDON, England (CNN) -- British police said they stopped a United Airlines pilot from flying while intoxicated earlier this week, pulling him from a Boeing 767 aircraft at London's Heathrow airport and charging him with being on duty while his blood-alcohol level was over the limit.
Scotland Yard said that Erwin Vermont Washington, 51, was taken off the plane just before take-off Monday. Washington, of Lakewood, Colorado, has since been released on bail.

Can you imagine it though? You know what happens if people drink and drive........I think they have always been that bad. Why be sober? You have a co-pilot and auto pilot.

Can you imagine ?? What is wrong here they bored in the cockpit since every thing is on auto pilot?? New rules are going to come to late pilots need sleep and should pass a breath test before flying a plane.
ALOHA!!

WOO HOO!!, what a ride!!!"

I have to wonder just how far the team that overshot by 150 miles would have gone if the stewardess had not knocked on that door:-2
