October 9, 201511 yr The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is reportedly launching a formal investigation after passengers alleged a pilot and copilot of a Delta Air Lines flight gave up their seats to honor airmen home from Afghanistan this week. Manifests indicate the Air Force fuel specialists en route to Las Vegas — 19-year-old Airman First Class Ted Farnsworth and 21-year-old Senior Airman Wayne Stryker — were not in any way qualified to pilot an aircraft, commercial or private. However, that did not cross the mind of the plane’s recently suspended captain, James Reynolds. Delta Flight Unable To Takeoff After Pilots Give Up Their Seats For Veterans
October 9, 201511 yr “They were in the Air Force, so I honestly didn’t see a problem,” said Reynolds. “Based on all of those commercials I see on TV I just assumed everyone in the Air Force was a pilot. They really have to be more clear.” I don't think I want someone that stupid flying my plane to start with. According to first class passenger Bassam Talhouni, numerous travelers became concerned when they saw Reynolds and his copilot in coach reading “Sky Magazine” and emptying Absolut mini bottles into their sodas. Assuming another crew was piloting the plane, Talhouni was shocked to find the junior airmen bemusedly and arbitrarily flipping switches in the cockpit. So, is this saying the pilot and co-pilot were actually going to let 2 strangers fly the plane? If that's the case these guys are too stupid to breathe.:facepalm:
October 9, 201511 yr It's satire. ??? Ok, now I'm totally confused. Are you saying this story is completely made up to try and make some sort of point? I'm not at all familiar with the website, but I did find the latter part of the article somewhat confusing.
