The pilot is suspected of trying to smuggle books into San Francisco...

Word is he assumed the ATC controller's gender during landing.

FYI, company scrubbed all this dude’s info from the schedule/flight data. Nobody has any idea what’s going on yet.


Maybe smuggling drugs? What sort of security screenings do the flight crews go though? Like, is it easy for a pilot to hide a couple of bricks in their carry-on?

I'm guessing CSAM/CP or something similar. When they want a public spectacle while everyone around them has no idea what's going on, it's usually that. Complete and total speculation on my end fwiw

ETA: For the record, I did not see this beforehand (despite the timestamp) so I'm still going to claim prediction bingo

It's possible he's an old Northwest Pilot. If so he probably failed a sobriety test.

not too long after Wilbur signed me off to solo and I got hired there was a guy that was arrested on the jet bridge in a pretty forceful manner, he was a recent furlough recallee that was married to the daughter of some drug lord who had gotten him to running drugs for Air Ganja while he was furloughed, I guess he wasn’t allowed to “quit,” everyone in the system knew about it that night, and this was back in the days of telegraph
