Modest JetBlue Co-Pilot

提交时间:
 
Who is Jason Dowd ? Apparently, a modest individual who's quick thinking and action was able to get JetBlue # 191 (JFK-LAS) safely to the ground in Amarillo (KAMA), following the recent emergency. (www.huffingtonpost.com) 更多...

Yes, this pilot did a good job of course, and I don't envy him having to deal with his coworker going berserk, but I thought that successfully landing a properly-functioning aircraft was a fairly routine and expected part of the job.

Routine?Yes, when you're doing it in a simulator, or both of you are sitting in your chairs discussing the latest screw up by a so called celebrity. But when you are alone, and you boss is yelling his head off behind a door that he is trying to beat down, you then hear a lot of commotion behind the door as your passengers are now wrestling with you now soon to be former boss, all the while you are wondering what is going on, talking with center, and getting ready to land a jet by your self. I would hardly called that routine.

No, he probably has more than enough to be a captain.

Beyond the co-pilot great work, little has been said about a JetBlue captain who was on board the flight that got into the cockpit, changed the lock combination. So with two pilots in the cockpit, the flying the plane should have gone easily.

It is probably a good thing that him or somebody was on there. Best I remember, that Aircraft is not certified for one man operation. I guess in a pinch it can be handled but it's a heck of a lot nicer with 2 people.

Here we go again. The big American Hero Stamp is coming along!! Run Jason, run!!

I thought the same thing too. Not putting a damper on anyone's parade, but you're not a hero for doing your job. You probably could've left American out of the comment though...

Why leave it out? Do we live elsewhere? Stamping people with the "hero" label is what is done best in American society.

There is bullshit everywhere, including Canada, but rational people don't label...
People should respect other nations, that's why you should leave American out of it!!!

Will be interesting to see what the final outcome will be. It is not every day that an Airline Pilot looses it. I am really wonder what drove him to it... Will be interesting to see what comes from the FAA and NTSB on this one. I wish the captain well as he is obviously sick. I am hoping it was nothing that was self induced, and I really commend the CoPilot. He made a decision, stood by it, and got his passengers back on the ground. That was his job and he did it well.

I think the co pilot did a great job. the capt did not have a uniform on.

Who cares what nationality he is. He did his job like he was suppose to. I am suprised that someone didn't kick the you know what out of the dead head. Flight attendants and now pilots. Maybe we should contact Amtrak from now on.

Doug: maybe I'm just feeling a little dense this earl on a Monday morning but would you mind explaining the part of your comment " I am suprised that someone didn't kick the you know what out of the dead head." Did I miss something?

As is often said, :Cool,level heards prevail". I'd say if anything promote Jason ASAP, no matter how modest he is. Lets not forget, there was an off duty NYPD, and pilot, on the plane, who also assisted.
