I thought the story had a pretty good ending: captain bolts the airplane after a bizzare diversion, saying nothing to anybody, only to be tortured by an anonymous prankster for weeks on end. <BR/><BR/>It should be pointed out that this happened years and years ago. It really was the wild west at regionals back in those days; a lot of stuff was tolerated back then that wouldn't be today. A captain pulling a stunt like this today would be severely punished, maybe even terminated, and the FAA would likely take an interest as well.Sam Weigelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06332414897030323612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10991135.post-1164776294691217412006-11-28T22:58:00.000-06:002006-11-28T22:58:00.000-06:00I'm surprised RD wasn't canned for going back, esp...I'm surprised RD wasn't canned for going back, especially when he then hopped onto another plane...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10991135.post-1164767762949169342006-11-28T20:36:00.000-06:002006-11-28T20:36:00.000-06:00yeah really.

It hasn't been recorded where he went or why?<BR/><BR/>Maybe he was bitten by a radioactive spider and had to change hurriedly into his spiderman costume to save the world.<BR/><BR/>I do LIKE the fake spider idea. I'd probably laugh so hard that the FAs would break down the door to see who was killing me.Aviatrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634111275860140084noreply@blogger.com
