Maybe he would have had to declare an emergency if he had that code. But seriously folks, the reasons for the emergencies were strange or shall I say unusual. That does not necessarily mean that the decisions to actually declare the emergency(perhaps I could have worded the title better to avoid misinterpretation by those likely to do so).

And for those in a fake tizzy, demanding to know where I work so they won't fly on that airline(as if it is really the case as I know you will buy the cheapest ticket), would you find it surprising if I told you UA.
