This United incident happened in October 2008

It happened again. Oh my.

On top of that:

"This is the second episode of drunken pilots departing from Heathrow in the last six months.

In May, an American Airlines pilot failed a breathalyzer test just before taking off from Heathrow for ... you guessed it, Chicago. During that incident, 204 passengers on board had to wait for a replacement to be found."

Pilot arrested on drink charge

After an hour of sitting on the runway, more than 100 United Airlines passengers were told to disembark yesterday because the pilot was "sick" – only later to find he had been arrested.

Last night the Metropolitan Police confirmed that a 51-year-old pilot, who had been due to fly the Boeing 767 to Chicago, was arrested at Heathrow on "suspicion of exceeding the prescribed alcohol limit". He has been breath-tested and released on bail.

Last night United Airlines said: "Safety is our highest priority and the pilot has been removed from service while we co-operate with the authorities and conduct a full investigation."

If I were a pilot for United, I'd probably be bombed most of the time too.
 
Now reporting that the FA rolled on him.

Not like that. Freaks.
