Delhi: A senior Air India (AI) pilot was caught drunk two weeks ago at Mumbai just before he was about to operate a flight.
According to a report in Hindustan Times, What has baffled the airline officials was the timing of the flight — the pilot was to operate an evening flight. Statistics show that normally pilots test positive for alcohol on early morning flights.
"Though not excusable, at least one can assume that the pilot must have got carried away and drank too much the previous evening," said an AI official requesting anonymity.
