Two United Airlines pilots have been arrested in Glasgow, Scotland after apparently failing breathalyzer tests before a flight to Newark, New Jersey, Huffington Post reported.

據(jù)《赫芬頓郵報(bào)》報(bào)道，兩名美聯(lián)航飛行員在飛往新澤西州紐瓦克的航班起飛之前明顯未能通過酒精測試，在蘇格蘭格拉斯哥被捕。

Both pilots were scheduled on the flight between Glasgow International Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport on Saturday, Aug. 3, according to NBC News. The pilots were arrested shortly before boarding the flight.

據(jù)NBC新聞稱這兩名飛行員本來都該登上8月3日星期六由格拉斯哥國際機(jī)場飛往紐瓦克自由國際機(jī)場的航班，他們在登機(jī)之前不久被捕。

According to the Huffington Post, aviation law states that staff members found guilty of intoxication, either by alcohol or drugs, maybe punished up to two years in prison or a hefty fine.

據(jù)《赫芬頓郵報(bào)》稱，航空法規(guī)定有工作人員被發(fā)現(xiàn)興奮，無論是酒精還是毒品所致，均會(huì)被處以最高兩年的監(jiān)禁或巨額罰款。

The legal limit for pilots in Scotland is 9 micrograms of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood (less than half of the legal limit for drivers), Huffington Post reported.

《赫芬頓郵報(bào)》報(bào)道在蘇格蘭飛行員的合法限度為100毫升血液中含有9微克酒精（不到司機(jī)合法限度的一半）。

It is unclear what the pilots blood-alcohol content was, and their charges are yet to be defined.

尚不清楚這兩名飛行員的血液中酒精含量為多少，對他們的處罰也尚未確定。

Pilots in the past have faced serious consequences for getting drunk on the job. Back in 2018, an Alaska Airlines pilot was sentenced to one year plus one day in federal prison after pleading guilty to flying a plane with more than 80 passengers while under the influence of alcohol.

以前就有過飛行員因工作期間醉酒面臨嚴(yán)重后果。2018年有一名阿拉斯加航空公司飛行員被判處在聯(lián)邦監(jiān)獄服刑一年零一天，他承認(rèn)在酒精影響下駕駛一架載有80多名乘客的飛機(jī)。

He was also ordered to pay a $10,000 fine in addition to his sentence.

除了服刑之外還被處以1萬美元罰款。

The flight, United Airlines Flight 162, was immediately canceled after the arrest. Passengers were given hotel and meal vouchers for the inconvenience, according to CNN, as well as re-booked on alternate flights.

這趟美聯(lián)航162航班在飛行員被逮捕之后立刻被取消了。CNN報(bào)道稱由于給乘客帶來不便，為乘客提供了酒店和用餐代金券，還為乘客重新預(yù)定了備選航班。

“The safety of our customers and crew is always our top priority. We hold all of our employees to the highest standards and have a strict, no-tolerance policy for alcohol,” said United Airlines spokesman Jonathan Guerin. “These pilots were immediately removed from service and we are fully cooperating with local authorities.”

美聯(lián)航發(fā)言人Jonathan Guerin說：“乘客和機(jī)組的安全永遠(yuǎn)是第一要?jiǎng)?wù)，我們以最高標(biāo)準(zhǔn)要求所有員工，對酒精有嚴(yán)格的零容忍政策。這兩名飛行員即刻被撤職，我們會(huì)全面配合地方當(dāng)局?！?/div>
