Nuevas imágenes muestran los momentos en que un ex piloto de Southwest es interrogado por la policía sobre su estado de sobriedad después de que los agentes de la TSA afirmaran que olía a alcohol. David Allsop fue sometido a una prueba de alcoholemia en el puente aéreo y posteriormente detenido por conducir ebrio antes de un vuelo que debía pilotar.

Savannah

Newly released police body camera footage shows a Southwest Airlines pilot being questioned and removed from a flight in Savannah, Georgia, after officers suspected he was intoxicated. The pilot, identified as Captain David Alsop, admitted to having consumed alcohol the night before, but stated it had been at least ten hours since his last drink, which is within the Federal Aviation Administration's minimum requirement of eight hours.

TSA officers reported the pilot smelled of alcohol, prompting police to administer a field sobriety test, which officers say he failed. Alsop declined a blood test and was escorted from the airport. Southwest Airlines confirmed the pilot was immediately removed from duty and is no longer employed by the company. Alsop's attorney disputes the validity of the sobriety test and claims proper procedures were not followed.

Un vídeo grabado con una cámara corporal muestra a un piloto fallando un control de alcoholemia

La primera vez que vemos el momento en que un piloto de Southwest Airlines fue retirado de un vuelo bajo sospecha de estar intoxicado. Esto ocurrió hace en enero en Savannah, Georgia. La policía dice que cuando llegaron a la puerta, el piloto estaba en la cabina haciendo comprobaciones previas al vuelo antes de que el avión fuera a partir hacia Chicago. Chris Van Cleve tiene más. Buenos días, señor. Hawai. Bien. Sí. ¿Dónde fue la última vez que tuviste bebidas anoche. Un nuevo vídeo de la cámara de la policía de enero 15 muestra a la policía del aeropuerto de Savannah interrogando al capitán de Southwest David también en el puente del jet. Minutos antes, había atravesado la puerta de embarque y en un 7 37 lleno de pasajeros. Tenía previsto volar a Chicago. Cómo muchas bebidas tomaste? Unas cervezas para encontrar unas cervezas. Unos cuantos años para encontrar unas cuantas cervezas. Es gratis. También le dijo a los oficiales que había estado en al menos 10 horas desde que había bebido. La F. A. A. requiere un mínimo de al al menos ocho. Pero los agentes de la T. S. A. llamaron a la policía después de que pasara por el punto de control visto aquí en el video de seguridad del aeropuerto. Los agentes de la T.S.A. informaron que también olía a alcohol. Voy a moverlo de un lado a otro, provocando a la policía a hacerle una prueba de sobriedad, que los oficiales dicen que falló antes de rechazar un análisis de sangre. ¿En serio? Sí, señor. ¿Cómo se sienten? Bien. Los signos que mostró durante esas tres pruebas, soy capaz de articular basándome en ellos y en el olor que desprende tu persona. Es muy consistente con la Y. Los oficiales lo dejaron salir del puente del jet y fuera del aeropuerto. Southwest dice que también fue retirado del servicio inmediatamente después de la supuesta incidente y ya no es empleado de Southwest Airlines. Nada es más importante para Southwest que la seguridad de nuestros clientes y empleados. Pero el abogado de todos los sops dice a CBS News que el video de la cámara corporal confirma lo que debería ser obvio para cualquiera que lo vea. El capitán tampoco cometió ningún crimen, alegando que los expertos que han revisado el video han concluido que las pruebas que condujeron a su arresto no se realizaron correctamente y que la debida no se siguieron los procedimientos adecuados. Él llama a su cliente, un veterano de la Fuerza Aérea, un héroe americano para la CBS el sábado por la mañana. Soy Chris Van Cleve en Phoenix.
