Two pilots were arrested Monday in Scotland after they allegedly showed up drunk when they were due to fly 250 passengers to Canada. Staffers alerted authorities when the men, ages 37 and 39, appeared at Glasgow Airport for the scheduled flight to Toronto. They were arrested on suspicion of being “impaired through alcohol,” The Telegraph reported. The flight had to be rescheduled for the following day, and passengers were put up in a nearby hotel overnight.
