piisfish 135 #1 March 28, 2012 Glad everything turned out ok for the plane and it's passengers. Hope the pilot gets better soon. He might not get to fly anymore... http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2012/03/27/incident-aboard-jetblue-flight-from-jfk-forces-landing-in-amarillo/scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #2 March 28, 2012 I'm wondering what the other pilot was thinking while all this was going on. Did he know his partner was nuts and also didn't want him back in the cockpit? Or did he think there might be people trying to take over the plane by grabbing the pilot? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bisqit999 0 #10 March 28, 2012 Are commercial pilots allowed to fly with mental illness? This guy sounds really sick. Possible first break or something physiological. I'm curious to know what ends up being his diagnosis. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I heard a news report that the other pilot persuaded him to leave the cockpit, then changed the code on the door lock. Yeah, I've seen that now in news reports. That was some cool-headed thinking. And luckily, there was another pilot on-board as a passenger, who stepped in to fill the empty seat to complete the flight. It must have been really creepy for that other pilot to see the signs of his partner going nuts in the cockpit, and wondering what he might do and how he should handle it. That man deserves free beer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 14 #12 March 28, 2012 Quote Are commercial pilots allowed to fly with mental illness? That's a big Negative. It certainly disqualifies you for a medical certificate to fly. But how to catch it? That's the problem. I'm curious, too, what caused this breakdown? Stroke, blow to the head, what? Anyway, good thing there's two pilots, and the copilot certainly did the right thing. Kudos to him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What are the odds of two airline employee's showing signs off acute mental issues within two weeks of ea otherIt could be the McNasty's have found a new "boc cutter" for the airline industrySome airlines in a effort to be more cost effiecient have contracted out some of thier airline services. It will be interesting to see if the 3 letter gov't agencies are doing tox screens on the employee's involved in the last two events. One pilot going postal is a freak incident, a whole flight crew going would be very . So many flights, so many employee's, nothing is 100%. At least Jump pilots are perfectly normalOne Jump Wonder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davjohns 1 #22 March 29, 2012 Wasn't Jetblue the one that had the male attendant chew everyone out on the PA, grab two beers and hit the emergency slide for an exit? What does the Jetblue HR department use to pick employees? Dice? Ouija board? We have a spare uniform in your size...you're hired?I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davjohns 1 #25 March 29, 2012 Don't get me wrong. I am a big fan of the flight attendant stunt. I thought it was classic. But Jetblue does seem to be getting a bit of bad publicity lately compared to others. Who was it that left the passengers on the runway for hours?I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
