2名美联航飞行员酒驾开飞机，被捕

It is unclear what the pilots blood-alcohol content was, and their charges are yet to be defined.

尚不清楚这两名飞行员的血液中酒精含量为多少，对他们的处罚也尚未确定。

Pilots in the past have faced serious consequences for getting drunk on the job. Back in 2018, an Alaska Airlines pilot was sentenced to one year plus one day in federal prison after pleading guilty to flying a plane with more than 80 passengers while under the influence of alcohol.

以前就有过飞行员因工作期间醉酒面临严重后果。2018年有一名阿拉斯加航空公司飞行员被判处在联邦监狱服刑一年零一天，他承认在酒精影响下驾驶一架载有80多名乘客的飞机。

He was also ordered to pay a $10,000 fine in addition to his sentence.

除了服刑之外还被处以1万美元罚款。

The flight, United Airlines Flight 162, was immediately canceled after the arrest. Passengers were given hotel and meal vouchers for the inconvenience, according to cnn, as well as re-booked on alternate flights.

这趟美联航162航班在飞行员被逮捕之后立刻被取消了。cnn报道称由于给乘客带来不便，为乘客提供了酒店和用餐代金券，还为乘客重新预定了备选航班。

“The safety of our customers and crew is always our top priority. We hold all of our employees to the highest standards and have a strict, no-tolerance policy for alcohol,” said United Airlines spokesman Jonathan Guerin. “These pilots were immediately removed from service and we are fully cooperating with local authorities.”
