I've heard that the aircraft was pulled away from the gate and that they had taxied some of the way to the designated departure runway, but were then told to return to the gate, where they were arrested for Public Intoxication. I'm not a pilot, so I speak from a nonprofessional viewpoint, but if these two pilots were considered intoxicated by any standards, then as a minimum each one should have their license suspended for one year and face stiff penalties by the FAA and also for breaking any municipal or state code for being intoxicated. Part of me would like to see them lose their license for good. This type of unprofessional conduct can not be tolerated, as they are responsible for the lives of those who fly in that aircraft, which includes the flight crew and private citizens using Air West to reach their destination. What are your thoughts? Regards, Richard Whitenight DFW Ambassador Rookie :-)
