Cog test is a killer bro. Don't take it personally.

I think this pilot did the right thing, but what I would have preferred to see would be more of an unapologetic half nelson transition into a side saddle suplex.

Really get into it and own it.

He could have easily taken both those chicks.

I can't believe these racist and redneck comments on here, well actually I can. It's not ok for a passenger to act out but it's ok for a pilot to smack the **** out of them, maybe even justified. This pilot got very lucky, it's shocking that they didn't press charges.

It was more of a "light chop" than an actual hit.

Made me rethink my Good Samaritan approach to life while on the job (and off for that matter). While not to armchair QB the actions of the professional with a good heart, I'd still give him an "A" for effort. Hard to put yourself in that exact situation.

He's not lucky. He did right thing and the people that actually have to judge his actions have said they agree with that.
