Three passengers have sued a major airline over an incident in which an off-duty pilot attempted to shut down the plane’s engines.
The Alaska Airlines flight was operated by the group’s regional subsidiary Horizon Air. Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air are owned by Alaska Air Group. It comes from the three passengers who were aboard the Alaska Airlines jet, accusing it of breaching its duty to ensure flight safety. Picture: Facebook
The suit also seeks injunctive relief mandating Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air to conduct examinations of all anticipated flight crew and jump seat passengers, including their mental health status. Daniel Laurence, an aviation lawyer at The Stritmatter Firm, which is representing the plaintiffs, said in a statement that his clients are seeking forthright public explanation from the involved airlines as to why they did not apply rigorous pre-flight security screening.
