This just came across my desk via the wire. Anyone else heard this story?

PILOT PULLED FROM FLIGHT: It's not often an air marshal has to protect
passengers from the crew. A sky cop reported the captain of a
Continental Airlines flight to the airline last week after he had some
kind of altercation with the pilot. The pilot, who was pulled from the
flight, tested positive for alcohol. His first officer was sober. The
flight crew was getting ready to take a Boeing 737-900 and 154
passengers to Orlando. The Newark-based captain has not been identified
and is suspended pending a review.
