Pilots to appeal license revocation on intoxication charge
Three Northwest Airlines pilots accused of flying while intoxicated will appeal their license revocations before the National Transportation Safety Board on April 3. They contend Northwest or the FAA could have stopped Flight 650 before takeoff. Two lawyers say Northwest had enough information to ground the Fargo to MSP flight on March 8. Northwest declines to discuss its role. The pilots also will appeal their dismissal by Northwest through the Air Line Pilots Association.
