Title: Pilot was 'six times over limit'
Post by: casper on March 20, 2007, 11:06:36 AM
A pilot turned up for work almost six-and-a-half times over the drink limit to fly a plane, a jury heard.
James Yates smelled strongly of alcohol and was unsteady on his feet when he turned up for duty at Manchester Airport, the city's crown court heard.

Staff called police and the 46-year-old was arrested and failed a breath test.
