I guess the ill pilot had the fish.

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.

I don’t think I’ll ever get over Macho Grande.

I know I posted this yesterday (but will never apologize for posting a Foster Brooks video), but this came to mind.

 

Some people will do anything to get out of going to Ohio. 

Meh. It’s not like the other pilot couldn’t have landed it by himself.

You discredit Ted Stryker at your own peril.

An ambulance!?! What is it?

Every post but Helobious is rep worthy

An ambulance!?! What is it?

A vehicle that takes patients to the hospital. But that’s not important right now

The other pilot did. The co-pilot took control. The pilot who was a passenger just operated the radio.

So, the co-pilot was over Dunne. The radio operator was under Oveur.
