Flight Attendant Kicked Off Plane for Being Drunk, Tells Pilot, "You're Dead" - Sarah Mills, Delta


Usually it's the passengers--or even the pilots--we hear about getting drunk on airplanes . . . but flight attendants? Yep. According to police, Sarah Mills, 26, had to be removed from a flight the Blue Grass Airport in Lexington, KY and will now have to answer charges she was drinking alcohol on the job and threatened a captain. Here's more from CBS 46 in Atlanta:

Public safety officers at Blue Grass Airport reported Sarah Mills, 26, told the Delta captain "You're dead" as she was removed from the plane Sunday afternoon. Court documents said she smelled heavily of alcohol and admitted drinking whiskey onboard.
Mills' driver's license lists her residence as Union, Mo., though she told officers she now lives in Atlanta. She was being held Monday at Fayette County Detention Center on a $350 bond following her arraignment on terroristic threatening and public alcohol intoxication. She pleaded not guilty to the charges.Court records say a breath test found her blood alcohol level was .032 -- lower than Kentucky's legal limit of .08 to operate a motor vehicle. She refused blood and urine tests, the records said.
Besides the criminal charges, Mills faces a civil review by the Federal Aviation Administration on charges of being a crew member of an airplane while drunk. Kathleen Bergen, public affairs manager for the FAA's Southern region, said she could not be jailed on that charge but that the agency is reviewing the matter.

What part of .032 don't some people get? It sounds like it's a lot easier to get rid of a flight attendant than face the publicity of the airline's captain. Think about it?
