WHERE is that sandwich I ordered? That’s it. I’m punching that flight attendant in the face! Yes, a “hangry” passenger causes an emergency divert because his sandwich wasn’t delivered in a reasonable amount of time.
Speaking of outrageous behavior, a co-pilot beats up his captain. In front of passengers. Nice.
Finally, a CRJ-700 departed the prepared runway/taxiway surface at Columbia Regional Airport in Columbia, Missouri.

Miami Rick joins me again, this time via Google’s Hangouts On Air technology. On this episode, we talk about updated information regarding the Germanwings crash investigation. Looks like many European carriers are adopting the “at least two persons in the cockpit at all times” policy. We also discussed the Air Canada A320 “short landing” at Halifax last week. The inaugural Virgin Atlantic flight from Manchester, UK, to Atlanta, Georgia, did not go as planned after a celebratory water cannon salute went awry. Whoops.

An unruly passenger, purported to be yelling “jihad” while running up the aisle toward the cockpit door, was subdued by passengers on a recent United flight. The pilots turned the jet around and returned to Dulles International, where the nut case was removed from the flight. This time, it seems that “mentally deranged” better describes the man, rather than “terrorist.”
A Cathy Pacific pilot is catching heat after inviting an attractive passenger to sit in the cockpit as he flew the plane. I’m not sure what the regulations are over there, but here in the US, that’d be a “no no.”
Juraj Vaculik, CEO of AeroMobil, in a keynote at South By Southwest in Austin announced their plans for not only a flying car in the future, but a self-flying car! I love dreamers. Really do!
Finally, a British Airways flight had to divert back to Heathrow International for a smelly predicament. It seems that one of the lavatory toilets was overflowing with “liquid faecal excrement.” You know? That really stinks.
