UNITED PILOT CHARGED WITH BEING DRUNK: (Reuters) — A United Airlines pilot has been charged after being arrested at London’s Heathrow Airport on suspicion of being drunk shortly before he was about to fly a transatlantic airliner, police said on Wednesday. Erwin Washington, 51, from Lakewood, Colo., was charged with “being aviation staff, performing an aviation function whilst exceeding the proscribed alcohol limit,” a London police spokesman said. Washington was arrested on Monday shortly before he was due to fly a Boeing 767 with 124 passengers and 11 crew to Chicago. United, a unit of UAL Corp, said he had been suspended pending a full investigation. “United’s alcohol policy is among the strictest in the industry, and we have no tolerance for violation of this well-established policy,” a spokeswoman said. Washington is due to appear before magistrates in north London on Nov. 20.

FIRST LADY TAKES PART IN SUMMIT TO END HOMELESSNESS AMONG VETERANS: Colorado First Lady Jeannie Ritter spoke at a national summit to end homelessness among veterans last week in Washington, D.C. Ritter was invited to share her insights on preventing veterans from becoming homeless by U.S. Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric K. Shinseki, who announced a $3.2 billion nationwide initiative to combat homelessness among veterans. About one-third of the adult homeless population has served in the military. Current estimates suggest that about 131,000 veterans are homeless on any given night and perhaps twice as many experience homelessness at some point during the course of a year. The VA’s new commitment adds $400 million more to its current homelessness prevention efforts.
