A flight attendant is out of a job today after video emerged of her being reportedly drunk during a flight. The stewardess is seen slurring her speech, struggling to keep her balance and passed out during the flight.

A flight attendant from Wisconsin was working on a flight from Chicago, Illinois, to South Bend, Indiana, on August 2. In the short 55-minute flight, passengers noticed that the stewardess appeared to be severely intoxicated.

Aaron Scherb, a passenger on the United Express flight, tweeted out what he saw during the flight. “Hey @united, our flight attendant appears to be quite drunk on this from ORD to SBN. She is slurring her speech (she couldn’t make it through the security announcement), couldn’t walk straight/was bumping into everyone in the aisle, and kept dropping things.”

All the passengers seem to recognize it too. This is appalling

Scherb added: “All the passengers seem to recognize it too. This is appalling.”

Another passenger said that the stewardess was “stumbling and staggering back and forth and bumping into passengers as she was kind of zigzagging across the aisle.” Apparently, March couldn’t stay awake during the United Express flight and passed out in the jump seat.

When the plane landed in South Bend, authorities asked March where she was and she replied, “Chicago.” Authorities said March had bloodshot eyes and the smell of alcohol on her breath.

March admitted that she had two vodka “shooters” before working on the flight. Who among us hasn’t had two vodka shooters before a flight?

She was administered a breathalyzer test and she blew a blood alcohol content of 0.20%. She was arrested, charged with misdemeanor public intoxication and transported to St. Joseph County Jail and released the next day.

The 49-year-old Air Wisconsin employee has since been fired. She faces up to six months in jail for being intoxicated on the plane.

“We will continue to cooperate with local authorities and assist them as necessary,” an Air Wisconsin spokesperson said.

In defense of Julianne March, isn’t everyone from Wisconsin drunk? Seven of the top 10 drunkest cities are in Wisconsin.

It was only days ago that two United Airlines pilots were reportedly drunk. The pilots were flying from Glasgow Airport to Liberty International Airport in Newark, New Jersey. The intercontinental flight was canceled after both pilots were arrested for being intoxicated. They have yet to be fired.
