When most think of being arrested for a California DUI, they assume it only happens when driving a vehicle. However, you can be arrested for a DUI while operating any type of vehicle, whether it is a car, a boat or in this case, a plane.
According to AOL Travel, the pilot of an AirTran flight was arrested for a DUI after a TSA manager smelled alcohol on his breath. Airport officers were called to administer a breathalyzer test, which came back at .05%. Similar to a commercial driving license, drivers or pilots cannot be over a .04% blood alcohol content level. The AirTran captain has been suspended which the incident is being investigated.
