At first, it said it had "learned of the arrest of two crew members assigned to its Glasgow-Toronto flight." The Montreal-based airline delayed a flight from Glasgow, Scotland, to Toronto on Monday, to the consternation of passengers -- though some changed their tune upon learning that they'd potentially dodged a disaster by not taking off with the reportedly drunken pilots. It was rescheduled for Tuesday morning, said Kathryn Munro, Air Transat's UK spokeswoman. Police Scotland did not release the pilots' names but said "two men aged 39 and 37 years have been arrested in relation to being allegedly impaired through alcohol under the Railway and Transport Safety Act 2003." The flight covers about 3,300 miles and takes roughly seven hours.
