American Airlines captain dies at controls
Condolences to the man's family. Kudos to the FO and Flight Attendants who attempted to keep him alive.
An airline captain has reportedly died at the controls despite a flight attendant with medical training trying to revive him. In a recording, the first officer is heard radioing in the emergency to ground control explaining that the captain has become 'incapacitated.' American Airlines flight 550 was en-route to Boston from Phoenix earlier this morning when the pilot was taken ill at the controls. An air stewardess - apparently a former nurse - fought to save his life but to no avail. |
Man that's sad, no chance to say goodbye to anyone...

Let it go, Joey. Age 60 isn't ever coming back and Age 67 is coming down the tracks like a freight train. And you're going to "get screwed" again. LOL! |

Why? So you can grind your "Age 65" axe again? What are you going to say when turns out he was under 60?

And when they completely delete mandatory retirement age (as Canada has!), your head will explode!
BWAHAHAHAHA! |

Fine by me, that means 35+ years in the left seat of an Airbus ;)
