    Politicians and police authorities in Ukraine are investigating the airline industry after an incident on the main carrier.

    During the week, police were ordered to prevent a plane from taking off with a drunken crew.

    The pilots and cabin crew on the Ukrainian airline Donbassaero were found to be at least ten times over the legal limit.

    The inland flight was due to carry 86 passengers, including the Ukrainian deputy Attorney General Tatiana Kornikova, from Simferopol on the Crimean peninsula to Kiev.

    Ms Kornikova ordered the investigation into air safety in Ukraine.

    I get it!

    If combat pilots are allowed to fly when taking 'Speed' so they react faster in battle. Then perhaps these pilots use alcohol to slow down and take time for safety? :O)
