[Cz-L] Cops arrest entire drunk crew from Ukraine airline

Another reason for my knee jerk reaction plus a cold sweat in my spine.

This happened yesterday could it be that the crew were celebrating St.
Patrick's day
a week too early? Or isn't this holiday celebrated in the Ukraine?
Here is the whole story enjoy

Cops arrest entire drunk crew from Ukraine airline
by Scott Carmichael (RSS feed) on Mar 11th 2010 at 2:30PM
We've occasionally written about a captain being pulled from his plane for
being over the legal drinking limit, but arresting the entire crew for being
drunk? Pretty sure that is a first.

The airline in question is Ukraine based carrier Donbassaero. When local
police acted on a tip, they boarded the Yak-42 plane and measured alcohol
levels between 0.075 and 0.052 in every member of the crew - flight
attendants, pilot and flight engineer. The legal limit in the Ukraine is
0.02.

The airline issued the following statement:
"The exact causes behind the long delay in the departure of the plane are
being investigated, after which Donbassaero's management will take adequate
measures".
The flight was scheduled to fly from Simferopol to Kiev with 86 passengers
and was just several minutes away from its departure time. The passengers
ended up leaving for Kiev almost 12 hours late. The incident caught the
attention of the federal government who have promised a full investigation.
