Passengers demand 'drunk Aeroflot pilot be taken off plane

[NM]

from news.com.au:

A red-faced Russian pilot was forced from the plane's coughpit after passengers said he was "too drunk to fly".

The first sign of trouble came when the Aeroflot pilot slurred his words during the pre-flight announcement aboard a December 28 flight from Moscow to New York, reports the Moscow Times.

....

Three weeks after the incident, Aeroflot said in a statement that Cheplevsky might have suffered a stroke immediately before the flight and that tests had found no signs of intoxication.

Cover up? I wonder if we will ever find out if he was drunk or actually suffered a stroke....
