Exclusive surveillance footage obtained by ABC News from Detroit Metro Airport shows an American Airlines co-pilot who was allegedly drunk on the job March 26.
That co-pilot was taken off of a plane before it left the gate.
In the exclusive video, you can see the co-pilot before and after he gets on a plane. You can also see him lose his stripes.
At the beginning of the video, you see the co-pilot, 50-year-old John Francis McGuire, enter the airport for his next flight.
But not long after that, the same co-pilot is seen being led off the plane and back out through the airport.
The flight--which was bound for Philadelphia--was eventually canceled and the arrest made national headlines.
We're told the captain of the flight noticed some suspicious activity and called authorities immediately.
Police say McGuire first denied drinking, then claimed he had a drink the night before.
Eventually, he registered .081 on a Breathalyzer - more than double the limit of .04 for pilots.
You can also see TSA officials actually remove the stripes from the co-pilot's uniform.
He is presently off the job, charged with operating an aircraft under the influence - which is a misdemeanor.
