One of the incidents happened on the recently released Delta cockpit. One of the pilots of the airline threatened to captain not to divert the aircraft due to an emergency. The complete report of the incident was released by the Investigation.
A commercial airline pilot is accused of pointing a gun at the captain sitting next to him in the cockpit while the plane is in midair. A grand jury in Utah indicted Jonathan Dunn. The shocking incident has come up again recently.
According to federal prosecutors, he allegedly threatened to shoot the captain if he diverted their flight due to a potential passenger medical problem. Information about the airline and the flight is still pending.
On October 18, a grand jury in Utah indicted Jonathan Dunn. According to US federal prosecutors, on August 22, 2022, the copilot made a threat to shoot the captain for choosing to divert the plane due to a medical concern involving a passenger.
Delta Air Lines released a statement saying, “Out of respect for the ongoing aviation authority investigation of this incident, Delta will refrain from commenting on this matter but will confirm that this First Officer is no longer employed at Delta,” even though the airline and the specific flight have not been made public.
