Passenger lands plane at Dublin after FO falls ill
 

Passenger lands plane at Dublin airport | World news | guardian.co.uk

I saw this article this morning.

Nice story, apart from the fact your header is 100% wrong. The off-duty pilot didn't land anything, and why would he when the skipper is still occupying the LH seat?

There's a much longer running thread here.

So did Denny Fitch albeit the Plane he was on, wasn't very well!!! (Sioux City DC-10)......Journalists eh!!

Well, it's not his line, is it?

That's the witless headline in the Grauniad.

As someone said just named the header on here from the article in the paper..

I would have expected the OP to have actually read the article before posting here with a misleading header. Plenty of clues the off-duty pilot did not handle the controls ...

As he said its the title of the article.... :ugh:

Not really that difficult to understand.

A bit different to a Dad leaving his wife and kids in the back and with no flying experience offering to be Mr super Hero and landing a 747 :ugh:

Non event with media hunting for a headline

Pace

Andy,

That's not really an excuse, now is it?

Can't Shannon attract any type of business these days?

Pilot helps pilot to land a B747.

I love news magazines :ugh:
