Dec. 3, 2024 – Two Delta flight attendants were kicked off their route after failing a breathalyzer test and being deemed too drunk to fly. The first blew 0.024, just over the legal limit of 0.002, and was fined $290. The second blew an astonishing 0.143, which is seven times over the legal limit for flight crews and almost double what is allowed for American drivers.
The incident did not affect the flight’s departure. “Delta’s alcohol policy is among the strictest in the industry and we have zero tolerance for violation,” a spokesperson said in a statement. “The employees were removed from their scheduled duties and the flight departed as scheduled.”
The Netherlands has stringent rules regarding flight crews consuming alcohol. While America’s Federal Aviation Administration demands a gap of at least eight hours between drinking and flying, in the Netherlands crews are prohibited from drinking within 10 hours of a flight.
