Someone claiming to be ”US-based”network of ambulance chasing law offices without an unce of knowledge about Swedish police procedures or the law system here are posting in all forms of forums with really bad AI-content. Why? It can not be in there own interest to show there incompetence and total lack of any other law then there own. Or it’s ”just” Russian propaganda..
The pilot was not intoxicated in any way, it turned out aftera proper test eas carried out.Delta should get the extra expenses reimbursed from the incompetent swedish authorities,
Even though this is not related to the ARN incident and we dont know the final report, are we seeing a pattern here?

In this specific case, will Delta just pay for this, I mean, there must be a question mark when the pilots second test shows green light, or?
Delta should sue the newspaper and the police should be given a reprimand.
@Dalton since it led to the flight (DL205) being cancelled and the pilot arrested, of course it was of immediate public interest and reported. The pilot wasn’t named by Swedish media, which is how “arrested on suspicion of…” is typically handled. I don’t really see a media error here.
The legal accusations on the pilot are withdrawn, and a false positive first result is communicated in some channels.
If so, what about the headlines?
Drunk pilot stopped by police just before take-off!
This message was spread in Swedish media after the first test. No consideration to wait for the mandatory follow up test?
To me this is nothing but reckless journalism.
If This is the First time it happens to her she Will most likely be sent to Rehab, If not the First time she Will be fired.
Woman pilot, was she an alcoholic? Captain or FO? Any witnesses from the night before, crew partying?
Sad news..
Heard that she had an operation and took some medication that caused the test to give a positive result.
The flight is Cancelled
