At least he did his spectacularly news-worthy suicide without harming anyone else.

A couple of things to note here:
1) Ground workers can be certified to move airplanes on their own power, such as from a terminal to a hangar. Getting to that step is 90% of what you need to know to take off. Add a few flying lessons in a Cessna and you’re in the air.
2) Large airplanes don’t have ‘ignition keys’, or, I guess now, FOBs. Anyone who gets in can fly away to the friendly skies, providing the airplane is serviced to do so.

I suspect there will be a SERIOUS investigation over this and probably some added security measures (resulting in added costs to fly, obviously).

“It is unclear how the employee was able to taxi the plane on a runway and take off without authorization.”

“He don’t need no stinkin’ fight plan.”

Do you think anyone is going to focus attention to this part of the conversation:


Rich: Hey do you think if I land this successfully Alaska will give me a job as a pilot?

Air traffic control: You know, I think they would give you a job doing anything if you could pull this off.

Rich: Yeah right! Nah, I’m a white guy


Is this the inevitable result of the constant white bashing by leftists? Are white people becoming despondent because of horrible leftist propaganda and are starting to feel hopeless?

I think so.

I wonder if he was recently diagnosed with something terminal. Seems like a bucket list thing to do. Always wanted to fly that plane, not going to die in jail and dying anyway so might as well have some fun on the way out. Better have a few drinks to get up the nerve.
