A Delta Air Lines pilot became incapacitated during a flight from Paris Charles de Gaulle (France) to Los Angeles, California (USA).
The flight was enroute in Canadian airspace when the pilot became “medically incapacitated.”
The crew declared an emergency and diverted the plane for an emergency landing in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The incident occurred on DL-291 on September 22, 2023.
The Aviation Herald reports:
A Delta Airlines Airbus A330-900, registration N422DZ performing flight DL-291 from Paris Charles de Gaulle (France) to Los Angeles,CA (USA), was enroute at FL360 about 440nm north of Minneapolis,MN (USA) in Canadian Airspace when one of the flight crew members became medically incapacitated and was taken to the cabin for care. The flight crew member that was on rest at the time assumed the duties of the ailing pilot, the crew declared emergency, descended to FL240 and diverted to Minneapolis for a safe landing about 75 minutes later.
The Canadian TSB reported the ailing pilot was taken to hospital for examination.
The aircraft remained on the ground for about 2.5 hours, then continued the flight to Los Angeles arriving at the destination with a delay of about 6 hours.
This is the third pilot incapacitation or death 100 Percent Fed Up has reported this week.
100 Percent Fed Up reported on the sudden passing of a 37-year-old Alaska Airlines pilot during his layover.
In addition, the captain of an Austrian Airlines flight started to feel unwell and became incapacitated during descent into Vienna.

Does anyone on board know how to fly a plane?
I think the pilots with the most seniority get these longhaul international assignments. But I am hear to say that ... well, it has nothing to do with clot-shots. /sarc
And that didn’t have the fish!
Nothing unusual, this type of incident happens pretty regularly in a lot of industries lately, at least it is since about 3 years ago, before that? not so much, pretty rare...
Maybe he needed a vaccine for something he got?
Ah yes, I had the lasagna...
Like he got to keep his job?
They do, my neighbor does the Tokyo flight weekly for American.

OTTO PILOT
Or the Covid boosters.
Traveling by commercial airlines has become less and less desirable:
1. Having to deal with the jackboot TSA thugs.
2. High prices and crappy seats on the airplanes today.
3. Knowing that the pilots were forced to get the Covid Jab.
Never eat the fish on a flight.
Shouldn't the person in the right hand seat assume the duties of the pilot and the resting flight crew member in the cabin move into the right seat?

Did he have the FISH dinner?
4. The industry has had a visible and vocal virtual signalling push for “diversity in the cockpit”. They’ve made such a huge deal about skin color and sexual bits flying the plane at the expense of who flies best.
I don’t care what external wrapping the pilots have, I just want the best people to fly the dam planes. The industry however is enamored with other stuff.
