A flight with three passengers in Russia was canceled on Friday while on the runway after the airport dispatchers became suspicious that the pilot was drunk. The Tu-134 was owned by Kosomos airline, and the three passengers where sent to hotel. The small airline operators in Russia have a reputation for frequent violations of flight safety rules. The owners don't give the crew a much needed break as per the law and keep pushing them to fly, so the crew at times try to fight fatigue with alcohol.
