Slovakian pilot remanded to January 25 in Calgary court

Miroslav Gronych, the 37-year-old Slovakian pilot who is accused of having care and control of an aircraft while impaired, had his case put over to January 25 Thursday. The Sunwing flight was scheduled to leave Calgary early Saturday with stops in Regina and Winnipeg before continuing on to Cancun. Police allege Gronych, the captain, was found slumped over in his seat and then escorted off the plane. Gronych was released on $1,000 bail and was ordered to turn in his passport. He was also prohibited from flying a plane in Canada while on bail.
