Description
More information is being shared and learned about what happened inside the cockpit of a passenger plane out of Everett's Paine Field Sunday evening and about the pilot's prior FAA medical examinations.
As KING 5 reported, in an Alaska Airlines flight operated by Horizon Air, an off-duty Alaska Airlines pilot reportedly tried to shut off the engines mid-flight.
After that emergency incident, Seattle-based carrier Alaska Airlines issued a new statement Monday night reading, "Throughout his career, Emerson completed his mandated FAA medical certifications... at no point were his certifications denied, suspended or revoked."
