A California pilot has been indicted for allegedly threatening to shoot a flight’s captain if he diverted the flight because of a passenger medical issue.

Jonathan J. Dunn was indicted on Oct. 18 for interfering with the crew of a commercial airline flight, the U.S. Department of Transportation's Office of the Inspector General said in a news release.

The incident unfolded on Aug. 22, 2022, when Dunn was the crew’s first officer.

Whaddya mean ... we've got pilots in the jumpseat of one flight trying to shut down the engines mid-flight, we've got pilots in another carrying guns and threatening to shoot each other over ordinary operational issues ... now that's entertainment! 🧑‍✈️ Waiting for an episode where the FAs gang up on a rude passenger and try to open a door (depressurizing in the process) and toss them out, all while filming on their (FA's) phones for social media points.
