A flight attendant has been charged with criminal public intoxication after a passenger aboard a United Express flight tweeted a video appearing to show her slumped over in her seat.
A flight attendant was charged with criminal public intoxication on Thursday after passengers aboard a United Express flight raised alarms and one tweeted a video appearing to show her slumped over in her seat.
And when administered a Breathalyzer test, her level was 0.204, five times over the legal limit for flight attendants, the complaint said. The Federal Aviation Administration said the limit for all aviation sensitive positions -- pilot, flight attendant, mechanic, for example -- is .04 for alcohol. "We expect our regional carriers to take appropriate action as required when issues like these happen with their employees. Legally and with regards to regulatory agencies this is an Air Wisconsin issue," a United Airlines spokesperson told ABC News.
He said he then noticed her bumping into several seats and passengers as she walked up and down the aisle to check the overhead bins. "The flight attendant didn't get up for the whole flight," Scherb said."She didn't do a security announcement or secure the cabin. When we landed, she appeared to need help opening the jet bridge."
Scherb said he tweeted United Airlines about the experience, and a United representative contacted him later that day to offer him a $500 voucher or 25,000 miles in addition to a refund for that segment of his trip."Given that the safety and well-being of all 50 passengers on that flight was jeopardized, I find United's response to be insufficient," Scherb said.
