British Airways pilot, allegedly drunk, taken off plane
A British Airways pilot has been removed from the cockpit of a flight amid fears he was drunk.
The Sun newspaper reported Saturday that police "rushed on the plane and headed straight for the cockpit. The first officer was cuffed and led away." The newspaper says worried airline workers alerted police before the flight left for Mauritius.
Sussex police say a 49-year-old man from west London has been arrested "on suspicion of performing an aviation function when the level of alcohol was over the proscribed limit."
The flight departed several hours late from Gatwick on Thursday after another crew member joined the flight.
取り上げる表現は"lead away"です。『ジーニアス英和辞典』第４版（大修館）で調べてみると、「（…から）…を連れ去る、連行する」とありました。もともと"lead"だけで「導く、連れていく」という意味があり、そこに"away"が共起することで、「去る、消える」という意味が含まれ、さらに強制的なニュアンスになります。(Akim)
