Is this for real??

Smoking, Unruly Passenger Diverts Flight Apr 3 07:46 PM US/Eastern

[URL="http://www.breitbart.com/images/common/dot.gif[/IMG]SAN"]SAN[/URL] FRANCISCO (AP) - A Honolulu-bound jetliner was diverted on Tuesday when a female passenger who had smoked in the lavatory became unruly, federal officials said.
Delta Air Lines Flight 511, a nonstop flight from Cincinnati, was over the Pacific Ocean when the passenger hit a pilot who had left the cockpit to quell the disturbance, said a fellow passenger who called The Associated Press from San Francisco International Airport.
"She appeared to be out of her mind. Upset. Belligerent," said Elizabeth Oglesby of Atlanta. "He threatened to handcuff her if she didn't calm down. At that point she hit him in the chest."
The woman was given oxygen and taken to the hospital after the plane landed. Officials with the Transportation Security Administration and Federal Aviation Administration did not immediately release the name of the passenger, and it was not clear whether she would be charged. It is a federal crime to smoke on a commercial flight. The Boeing 767 landed safely at about 1 p.m. and resumed its flight about an hour later, said Delta spokeswoman Chris Kelly

There goes the secure flightdeck. Passengers start something and tough guy pilot opens the door........911 ring a bell. When crap goes down...leave the door shut and fly the plane. People in the back can handle it.

Unless he was already in the back taking a piss break, or on a scheduled rest I have no clue! Our security procedures are against the flight crew going into the back in this kind of situation! I have learned over time though not to second guess!

 

[firstthird]

any chance he was a relief pilot? was it an ATL - HNL flight that exceeded 8 hours?

 

[ACL65PILOT]

There is a relief pilot on a CVG-HNL leg. I was probably him.
Never believe what the news says. They always mess up the facts.

 

[Whataburger]

Did the pilot come back and say, "Please quit smoking, do as I say because I have 9000 posts on Flightinfo?"

Since your regional does not fly long distances, let me explain. Flights over 8 hours have a relief pilot. It was the relief pilot who confronted the passenger. You see, the relief pilot eats a meal, takes a nap, does some light reading etc. as the heavy, of which you have what, three, makes its way across the ocean, a big body of water larger than Lake Michigan or Lake Havasu for you West girls and lands at a far away destination. Maybe when you get the big airbuses from Air Canada you will figure all this out.

Post of the year. Did he scream when he was punched by the ex-stew?

Shack. Funny, but I don't think these guys had any idea there was such a thing.

 

[Jetpipeovht]

Did he hog-tie the b!tch?

 

[grog_sit_reserv]

was over the Pacific Ocean when the passenger hit a pilot who had left the cockpit to quell the disturbance,

Hey Retards.... He left the cockpit.... He left the cockpit.... Relief pilot or not HE LEFT THE COCKPIT TO QUELL THE DISTURBANCE. Now, unless he was in an airlock between the flightdeck and the cabin he totally F'd up.

What about Able bodies? How many FA's did they have on that 767?

YGBSM, WTFO!

Hell even us regional guys at AWA know better than to leave the cockpit when there is a disturbance.

 

[Scott Holl]

THIS IS GREAT.SOME TERRORIST POSTS A SITUATION AND YOU RIDDLE LITES SOLVE IT. i TAKE IT BACK, WE WILLL NOT HIRE YOU.

Before you go calling too many people names you might want to think about it a little more. Ms Oglesby, who called the press from the tarmac at SFO, appears to be the only witness quoted here. My bet is she had no clue where the pilot came from. She just ass u med he came from the cockpit. Relief pilot sitting in first class; My guess is alarmist calling press on cell phone from tarmac - not in first. Hell, I can be sitting in the back for 4 hours on a deadhead, get up to take a leak, and the guy across the aisle says, "Hey, who's flying this thing?".

Nope, wasn't me. I do the Carribbean, not Hawaii. Those Hawaii flights have 3 pilots (over 10 hours of flying nonstop from CVG), so he was probably back there in the crew rest seat watching a movie eating a first class meal. A stew probably alerted him and he went to see what was going on. The other two pilots were no doubt in the cockpit and safe the whole time. Good try though! You really go out of your way to try to find something wrong, and instead you actually make a fool out of yourself because you don't know INTL flight regs (or flights over 8 hours). Maybe someday you will fly the East stuff to Europe and try that out.

Read the article again and see that it was nonstop from CVG to HNL----10 hours nonstop. That requires 3 pilots minimum. Our flights to Tokyo and Mumbai (Bombay) have 4 pilots on them. That means someone can be in the back and the others are safe. You may never see that at SWA.


Bye Bye--General Lee

 

[grog_sit_reserv]

I read the article. If he left the cockpit, he's screwed. If he was in the main cabin resting, no problem, thanks for helping.

I'll bet the article made a mistake. I can't believe any of us would leave the FD to confront a pax.

 

[Huggyu2]

See,... only 8527. And you though Gen Lee had 9000 posts.
Sheeesh!

You are a tool does the size plane you fly help you compensate for other shortcomings. Your wife must be very dissatisfied. ( IF YOU HAVE ONE )

furloughs and financial red is another thing we haven't seen at SWA how are those new pay rates general. I am sure your corporate officers will be laughing all the way to the bank.

 

[_BravoWhiskey_]

And we are discussing this in a public forum why?

 

[CFIT]

If the article had said "the pax hit the pilot and he started crying and spotted" then it couldn't be the general, it was 73private.

Just to clear things up.......

Of course he does, he huffs and puffs and inflates her every night.
