A Turkish Airlines pilot died after collapsing mid-flight, forcing the Turkish national carrier to make an emergency landing in New York, the airline said Wednesday. The incident occurred after the plane took off from Seattle on Tuesday evening, airline spokesman Yahya Ustun wrote on social media.
“I’m always scared of flying. And my friend says, ‘Don’t worry, you’re not going anywhere until it’s your time.’ And I say, ‘But what if it’s the pilot’s time?’”
That’s one reason to mandate 2 pilots.
That’s very similar to a line from Hook
I’m fairly certain it’s a paraphrasing from a well known comedian, someone like Norm or Danger field level.
Eric Adams must have wanted a domestic flight. Credit to the pilot, he was committed to making it work.
This is the 3rd time in a few days I’m hearing about a pilot passing out/dieing in the middle of a flight. This just the law of averages or is something going on with pilots?
They all had the fish for dinner!
Ah yes, I had the lasagna.
Pilots sacrificing their brethren to remind the world that we have redundancies for a reason. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/one-pilot-in-cockpit-staffing-shortage-faa-part-121/
There are a lot of flights every day, and anything about air travel gets a front-page spot these days.
