A JetBlue captain went berserk on a flight from Kennedy Airport to Las Vegas today in an incident that forced the plane to make an emergency landing, passengers and authorities said.
Say your prayers! the crazed pilot screamed as he ran up and down the aisle, a passenger told The Post.

You know, it seems odd to me that a flight attendant and now a pilot would lose it, so close in time, and in such a similar way.
Something very strange is going on.
Laurie Dhue formerly of Fox News was on the flight and is reporting per telephone to Shepherd Smith
Laurie Dhue was reporting on CNN about this....she was on the flight.
It is indeed
Yeah she was talking to Sheperd Smith via telephone
Jet Blue, the Jolly Fats Weehawken of the skies.
National depression?
Something’s going on. Someone’s doing this to flight personnel.
Consider terrorists doing things like putting a hallucinogenic put into the pilot’s meal.
Yep, it is called crew scheduling using a program called the crew “optimizer” aka the crew sodomizer...
My wife is on medical leave as a pilot from a “major” due to substaintial sleep deprivation issues. Looking back, the 2 years prior to her health collapse were absolutely horrendous, we never looked at the schedule she was working until the damage was done.... I am pretty sure the flying public will see more of this cr@p.
He must have had the fish.
...or perhaps having some ground-staff jihadi taking a hallucinogenic or slow acting toxin and rubbing it on the cockpit controls while “cleaning”.
Interesting. My belief was that forces more .. sinister ... were at work. But this could easily be attributed to horrid personnel practices. This is one of the EXTREMELY FEW CASES where unionization might serve a role.
That’s some very excellent out-of-the-box thinking.
We’ve been on this flight many times to Vegas-Amazing!
It might be the extra solar radiation caused by the solar storms going on recently.
Was the captain Flying While Muzzie?
Nothing more sinister than greed at work here... ask any airline pilot how things are going since 9/11.
I am no union fan, especially ALPA. The Unions just roll over all the time at the expense of the members just to keep the gravy train alive. Crew rest is just a non-winner when negociating. Face the facts, the airlines will not hire more crew and just consume the ones there right now.
My wife timed out for the year in Oct of her last year she flew, nearly killed her. All she bid on was a start time essentially, every day was considered “an operational emergency” and the contract was ignored. Much akin to a huricane or major snow storm, type operations The operational emergency was the fact the big D was in Bankrupcy! I wish I could make this crap up. ALPA just went along with it and yawned...
Laz. You said 'doing this' to flight personnel?!
