Показать описание
A flight from Everett to San Francisco was diverted to Portland Sunday night after an off-duty Alaska Airlines pilot attempted to shut down the Horizon Air passenger jet's engines in the cockpit.

The Port of Portland Police Department, which serves as law enforcement for Portland International Airport, said it arrested Joseph David Emerson, 44, who faces 83 charges of attempted murder, a charge of endangering an aircraft, and several other charges of reckless endangerment.

He was authorized to sit in the jump seat—an extra seat in the cockpit—according to Alaska Airlines, which owns Horizon.

This was just like the attempted hijacking of Federal Express Flight 705 on April 7, 1994.

The Fire Officer? I've been an airline pilot for over 22 years and never heard that one before. What you meant to say was FIRST Officer.

This reminds me of Auburn Calloway who wanted to do something similar in 1994, but with a FedEx plane

It's all so terrible. It looks there wasn't any politics and terrorism involved. That will help narrow the areas of searching for the reason this was done.
