Default SQ Pilot fails CASA drug/drink test preflight

Unusual to hear of this happening, not great:

"A PASSENGER aboard a Melbourne to Wellington flight says he was lied to by airline staff about the condition of a pilot who failed a random breath test.

Singapore Airlines flight SQ247 was scheduled to fly from Melbourne to Wellington on Saturday morning about 6am.

Passengers had boarded the Boeing 777 and were preparing to take off when an announcement from the flight deck revealed there was a problem."
