DIE! DIE! DEI!

“returned to the airport to check out a potential mechanical issue,”

Understatement of the year!

I was on a United flight several years ago that had a high flying goose go through an engine. That was fun!

I wonder if the requirements for a commercial pilot have been compromised like everything else. I have a granddaughter who is becoming a commercial pilot. I spent a fortune on flight lessons. She was unable to read when she graduated high school .
I’ll never fly again.

Yes, some would see this as a bad thing. But others could see it as an opportunity!

“I knew that wasn’t normal and so I opened up my window and I’m sitting next to the engine” huh? So he had a window that opened on the plane and he was out sitting on the wing?

A “compressor stall”...not that uncommon....pulling back on the throttle for awhile usually clears it:
