Federal authorities filed criminal charges against the JetBlue Airways Corp. pilot whose erratic actions diverted a New York-to-Las Vegas flight Tuesday, describing fresh details of a harrowing scene inside the cockpit that led to the plane's unscheduled landing in Texas.
JetBlue is the airline I fly every couple of weeks. Glad this turned out okay for the passengers. Usually plenty of drinking going down on Las Vegas flights and lots of passengers all psyched to get there. Could have gotten ugly having the pilot go into a religious/terrorist rant and ending up grounded in Texas. The co-pilot and crew did a good job managing the situation.
