March 23, 20232 yr Popular Post I guess the ill pilot had the fish. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/pilot-another-airline-helps-land-southwest-flight-captain-falls-ill-rcna76275 Southwest Flight 6013 was bound for Columbus, Ohio, on Wednesday when one of its pilots "needed medical attention," a spokesperson for the airline said, without giving details about the health issue. In radio traffic archived by the website LiveATC, a person can be heard saying that the captain had started to feel stomach pain and then "fainted or became incapacitated" around five minutes later. The person says the captain "came back" around 60 seconds later and was being looked after in the back of the plane. "We need to get him on an ambulance immediately," the person says. The Southwest spokesperson said a credentialed pilot from another airline, who was on board, entered the flight deck and assisted with radio communication as a Southwest pilot flew the aircraft. Pictured below is a cockpit video of the savior pilot flying the plane through dangerous turbulence.

March 24, 20232 yr The Co-pilot will probably be fired for letting an unauthorized person into the cockpit
