Cabin crew stop ‘drunk’ pilots from flying

The cabin crew of Aéromexico Flight AM 657 stopped their flight crew from flying because they seemed drunk.

The incident happened on March 12, 2011 while flight AM657 was being prepared for departure from San Juan (SJO/MROC), Costa Rica to Mexico City. According to authorities the co-pilot tested positive for alcohol while the captain refused to do the test.

A replacement crew was flown in to fly the Boeing 737-700 back to Mexico.
