Wow, Delta in the Twin Cities has had a bad run in the past 10 days.
1. Hours ago, a Delta pilot was arrested when he landed the plane coming from Minneapolis in San Francisco. Reasons have not been given, but he was definitely arrested, So that is serious.
2. In the Minneapolis airport about 10 days ago, a pilot was arrested before the plane even took off. This incident fascinated me because it shows how alert Homeland security was. Really remarkable!
The pilot was heading down a walkway to his plane when he ran into a random, unexpected security checkpoint for crews. He neatly and quietly pivoted, passing a nearby bathroom, and headed down escalators one level to a bathroom far away from the checkpoint.
This was viewed as suspicious behavior by Homeland Security and they called the cops and higher up officers. This is amazing to me that they didnt let this oddity slide. They are heroes!
Airport cameras followed this pilot into and out of the bathroom. Cops went into the bathroom and found a full, unopened bottle of rock gut Vodka in the trash.
They arrested him, and he confessed to putting it in the trash. Results of his blood test are pending.
Here a pilot gives his analysis of what took place.
