“F*** this place:” Southwest pilot caught on hot mic ranting about the Bay Area while flying out of SJC

[+ sync]

Wasn’t there a pilot a few years ago that purposely crashed a plane killing more than 100 people onboard? Afterwards we learned he had been struggling with his mind for a while. Shane should be grounded and not allowed to fly again unless a bunch of professionals with big liability insurance policies say otherwise. As with bad cops, I think hiring processes stink. Rage like we heard from this pilot was likely evident before. I am not flying on a Southwest flight.

I remember that incident. My recollection is that the subject pilot waited until the other members of the flight crew had left the cabin, he then locked the cabin door. When the other crew members realized the situation, they tried to re-enter the cabin but the security locking system was too great for their efforts.

 

The horror that must have gripped the helpless crew members and passengers had to have been off the charts.

yes but he was German and therefore no other folks of his nationality suffered the consequences or had to apologize for his actions.

 

If a Muslim had said the same thing about any American city... Fox News would be asking all Muslims to get extra scrutiny..,

There was an Argentine movie about the same subject, a pilot flying with everybody he hates in his plane and crashing it.

WTF is up with Southwest pilots?

 

DALLAS -- Federal authorities have charged a former Southwest Airlines pilot with indecent exposure for an incident they say occurred during a flight last August.

Michael Haak was the pilot in command of the plane during a flight from Philadelphia to Orlando, Florida, according to a one-page filing in federal district court in Maryland.

According to the document, which was dated Friday, Haak exposed his genitals in acts that began, continued and ended while flight 6607 on Aug. 10 was in the air. The document did not indicate the circumstances and who might have witnessed the incident.

A Southwest spokeswoman said no passengers witnessed the incident; the pilots were the only people aboard aware of the incident.
