United gets complaint after fight attendant appears drunk, slurs

A passenger noticed she seemed impaired and tweeted about it to United.

Jayme DeerwesterA flight attendant has been fired and charged with public intoxication Thursday for failing a breathalyzer test following a flight during which she appeared intoxicated on a United Express regional jet.

"Officers asked her where she was; she answered 'Chicago.' Once she did finally stand, she needed to use the airplane's seats to maintain her balance," the document read, adding that she was asked multiple times if she was on any medications and answered no each time. The complaint also said she initially refused to take a breath analysis test but did so after being taken to the jail in St. Joseph County, Indiana, where her blood alcohol level was found to be .204. The limit for pilots, cabin crew and other"safety-sensitive" personnel is .04, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
