In Dominican Custody, Pilots, Flight Attendants Kept on the Move with Security Detail
The Airline Division of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) has emphatically announced its concern over a pair of missing members who have been held in custody since a brouhaha involving contraband smuggled aboard their aircraft. The story is an unusual one, in which Pivot Airlines personnel, 2 flight attendants, 2 pilots, and a mechanic have been held in the country with no option to leave. The story began when the crew discovered 200 kilos of suspected contraband inside the plane, and reported it to both the Dominican government and the RCMP on April 5.
