Pilot sentenced to prison for trying to fly plane while drunk

Mr Russell was scheduled to fly a Delta Airlines Boeing 767 from Edinburgh to New York, but was stopped after his carry-on luggage was rejected by security. Airport security staff found two bottles of wine in Mr Russell’s luggage, one of which was open and only half full.
