An American airlines pilot was arrested Saturday on the runway as shocked passengers looked on after he failed a breathalyzer test at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
Flight 736, scheduled to leave Detroit about 7 a.m. en route to Philadelphia, was immediately canceled, according to ABC affiliate WXYZ.
A transportation security agent was the first person to spot the pilot acting suspiciously, the station reported. Minutes before the flight was to take off, airport police were called

(30,613 posts)They once stranded me in Atlanta because the captain was in a bad mood, and decided he didn't want any dogs on the flight (though I had a ticket for the dog and had flown in on another American flight). That was my final flight on American; they had previously messed with me in other random ways.
American is random and capricious; they seem to hate their passengers.
