Air hostess helped land passenger jet after co-pilot had 'breakdown'


Air hostess helped land passenger jet after co-pilot had 'breakdown'
"The captain of the Boeing 767 from Toronto to Heathrow asked staff to seek out any trained pilots onboard.
One of the female cabin crew came forward saying she had a commercial pilot’s licence and was asked to take over in the co-pilot’s seat.
The captain praised the attendant to investigators for helping him safely land the plane at Shannon, where the ill flight officer was removed and admitted to the acute psychiatric unit of Ennis Regional Hospital for 11 days."

Yikes!
Loonies and heroines in the cockpit!
