A pilot was removed from an American Eagle flight Friday morning and taken into custody at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on suspicion of being under the influence of alcohol.

American Airlines spokesman Matt Miller said the pilot was on American Eagle Flight 4590 from Minneapolis-St. Paul to New York LaGuardia.

Airport spokesman Pat Hogan confirms MSP Airport police took the pilot into custody at 7:19 a.m. ET.

The pilot failed a breathalyzer at the scene, but was taken to Fairview Southdale hospital to test for blood alcohol content.

"American Eagle has a well-established substance abuse policy that is designed to put the safety of our customers and employees first," the airline said in a statement. "We are cooperating with authorities and conducting a full internal investigation. The pilot will be withheld from service pending the outcome of the investigation."

The plane was delayed for about three hours before leaving for New York at about 8:50 a.m. It was estimated to arrive shortly after noon.

After my own inquiry with an Eagle pal who looked into it, I was informed its an Eagle flow thru that doesn't have some fans, primarily in the DFW base. What the source of the conflict was I'm not sure, but it may have been union related. My research shows there IS a flow thru with that first name, but I won't add to this nonsense by hammering that guy as I won't follow the same stupid and possibly erroneous assumption a few notable children here do.

Anyhow, one pilot put 2 and 2 together and came up with 237. Of course, it's a known fact, if one Eagle pilot says it on a forum, dozens of gullible saps assume its true and run with a deflated football to their own end zone. Same thing happened with their TA only on a larger scale. Think of 2000 Forrest Gumps. I've attempted to correct them, but they prefer error and making themselves look like idiots instead of factual accuracy. Thus, I'm known here by these fools as "Joey", "JJ" or something to do with Kangaroos. I guess this is one way to get giggles and considering these stressful times, it's not surprising. Sadly, while Eagle has many good folks (I still have many friends there), they have some real dregs as well. There are no "J's" anywhere in my name, so in the future you (and others) can now understand what this is when you see it and place it squarly in your "stupid" file where it belongs. You'll note that the worst characters also tend to embarrass themselves in other ways here and a review of recent posts will confirm this.

You can lead a mule to water, but...........:rolleyes:
