AIR TRANSAT PILOTS CHARGED WITH BEING DRUNK GET BAIL

Two Canadian airline pilots charged with being drunk as they prepared to fly a passenger jet have been granted bail on condition they surrender their passports. Jean-Francois Perreault, 39, and 37-year-old Imran Zafar Syed were arrested at Glasgow Airport on July 18, shortly before they were due to fly an Air Transat jet to Toronto. They have been charged with being impaired through alcohol and with threatening and abusive behaviour. The airline says the pilots have been suspended.
