TOKYO: Two former Japan Airlines pilots were suspended from flying by the Japanese transport ministry on Tuesday (Feb 4) for excessive drinking before a flight and lying to their former employer.
The ministry said the two former captains “drank alcohol in excess of the limit, although they were aware of the rules” that limit the amount of alcohol consumed 12 hours before a scheduled flight.
