Drunken pilots lose appeals court case

"Two pilots who were drunk in the cockpit have lost an appeals court bid to overturn their convictions and prison sentences. The pair were about to fly an America West plane from Miami to Phoenix back in 2002. But an airport screener smelled alcohol on their breath, and as the jet was being towed from the gate, police came out and ordered it brought back. Testimony at their trial showed the pair spent six hours at a sports bar, consuming 14 glasses of beer before leaving less than six hours before takeoff. Tests later showed them still above Florida's legal limit for drunken driving."
