The incident and charges were not made public until Thursday, January 21, 2015, when Arntson appeared in court for the first time.
Unlike Duszak, Arntson is accused of flying the plane while drunk.Īrntson was randomly tested after piloting two Alaska Airlines flights on June 20, 2014, according to court documents. He was later indicted by a grand jury in February on the same charge. “We cannot and will not tolerate those who violate the trust of their passengers by endangering lives.” “Those in command of passenger jets, or any other form of public transportation, have an obligation to serve the public in the safest and most responsible way possible,” U.S. He could also be facing federal charges, like former Alaska Airlines pilot David Arntson, who was arrested last year.Īrntson, 60, was charged in January 2016 in the Central District of California with operating a common carrier while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, prosecutors said. Duszak is the latest pilot for a major airline to be accused of trying to fly while drunk.
