Give it a rest guys. The article - and the police comments - clearly indicated that this chap had medical issues. He is very fortunate not to have been severely injured.

Strikes me the airlines (& managers) that you worked for must have had little confidence in the competence of their F/Os. In particular the third one: not allowing the F/O to call stop at any stage -...

As far as I was concerned, back in the day, if anyone called STOP (and we were below V1) then I would. Didn't matter if it was the RHS or the pilot positioning on the j/s - or even the hostie (if...

You are correct. Only the aircraft commander can cancel IFR - a very sensible internationally observed rule that avoids confusion & emphasises the fact that only the commander is the ultimate boss. ...

I seem to remember that not so very long ago - in the UK with it's very strict firearm laws - a (duly authorized) armed bodyguard to an on board VIP managed to leave his loaded weapon in the toilet...

I have no idea Dave - and I am not going to quote the usual phrase of "if you think .... then try an accident". But when you consider that ATC can now see (for example) the preset altitude and the...

That, Magplug, is an extremely sensible idea. I can see no reason why it should not be adopted (not very expensive) and, in due course, mandated. It certainly might very well have saved Helios and...

Seems a bit daft to me - if not downright stupid / dangerous - not to respond to a warship. What are IFALPA up to? Why? Next they'll be suggesting you ignore a fighter intercept or a traffic cop....
