March was part of an Air Wisconsin crew working a United Express flight. She was arrested Aug. 2 when the plane landed in South Bend after departing Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. Court documents say she had a blood-alcohol content of 0.20%.
March’s attorney, Jeff Kimmell, said Friday she’s no longer employed in the aviation industry, is enrolled in alcohol abuse counseling and “is using this experience as a positive turning point in her life.”
