This is basically a non-event. I'm glad all is well. Now can I start making Airplane references?
if something like that were to happen when i fly the next time i would like a cool headed and level headed first officer at the controls
The runway is good enough for me! Don't need no stinking gate for me to be happy.
Would they have had to move the Cpt from his seat in order to access the tiller? Perhaps someone made the call to not move the person (now victim/patient) unnecessarily and opting for the tow. Has there been any updated info on his/her condition?
Somewhat of an update - http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/01/travel/oregon-flight-diverted/index.html
Note - there's ridiculous writing in this article, too - particularly in how the co-pilot was "forced to take over."
Another hysteric report from BNN: Breathless News Network. Everything must be reported is desperately significant even if nothing happens. Thanks for the update.
