The pilot was poised to
join the flight when he was stopped by police who were tipped off that he had
been drinking.
A breathalyser test showed he had a blood alcohol level of
0.375, which a police spokesman told local broadcaster AT5 was a ‘considerable’
amount. Air crew are not supposed to drink for 10 hours before a flight.
Police
have refused to say which airline the man worked for or what the destination of
the plane was. He was banned from flying for 15 hours and fined €6,000.
‘What
he was doing was extremely dangerous because he was really about to fly,’ the
spokesman said.
