Drunk pilot jailed for eight months after passing out in cockpit!
A pilot has been sentenced to eight months in prison after pleading guilty to being drunk while in control of a jet.
A pilot who pleaded guilty to being impaired while in control of a Sunwing Airlines jet has been sentenced in Calgary to eight months in jail, minus time served, and barred from flying for a year after his release.
According to CBC News, Miroslav Gronych's sentence works out to 219 days in custody. Provincial court Judge Anne Brown also imposed on the Slovakian national a one-year ban from flying an aircraft.
Gronych pleaded guilty last month to having care and control of an aircraft while intoxicated. He had a blood alcohol level that would have been three times the legal limit for driving a vehicle.
