Pilot and First Officer arrested according to MSNBC...

They have moved on to other news... Not much is known.

[dead]

Wild, fact-free, speculation time!

I'm gonna go with drunken flying.

[HairOfTheDog]

They did say the flight was out of Miami.

[CecilRhodesGhost]

Well... the Fourth is nearly here. Also, America West flies into Vegas, rumoured to be on the hit list. Who knows.

[Semper911]

News conference coming up. 5pm ET? MSNBC has no details, but will carry the press conf.

[RoughDobermann]

Probably arrested for departing LATE yet again out of Phoenix...

[I'm ALL Right!]

BUMP FOR LATER

[Texaggie79]

For discrimination maybe? They refused to allow an arab on board?

[TADSLOS]

Another nail clipper nab most likely.

[TBall]

They were smoking in the cockpit.

[shadowman99]

Sorry, I was showering, what was that?

[O Neill]

I'll guess it's co-pilot Mohammed Ackbar Nahway Billy Joe McAlister was plannin' to fly off & into the Tallahatchee Bridge....

Remember, the St Petersburg was closed this morning, both ways.

[Locked and Loaded]

My Guess: They refused to say the pledge this morning.

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

I think this is the "crew" that hit, Foster, Baxter, and Buddy the dog!

[b4its2late]

Took a firearm in the cockpit with them?

[LikeLight]

Mouthing off to rude under-qualified Federal screeners?

[colorado tanker]

America West? I'm gonna guess they were arrested for serving the passengers a meal.

CoPilot: "Hey Bob, I don't think we're supposed to be up here."

Pilot: Tony, you're such a worry wart. Anyhow, we're supposed to be up here. We're flying this bird, remember?"

CoPilot: "Hey, look at me! I'm a pilot!!...(Deep voice) Ladies and gentlemen this is your captain speaking. We're at an altitude of 30,000 feet and Oh my God watch out for that mountain...Ahhhh (Laughter).

Pilot: "Hey man, cut it out. Don't touch that. It says "engine start."

CoPilot: "Don't worry, they alwasy turn these thing off"

Engine starts in background, pilot unaware

CoPilot:"Ready for takeoff. VRRROOOMM VROOOOOOOOOM. Throttles moved from idle to full and back to idle. WHEHEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Pilot: "Oh no, we're moving!!"

CoPilot:"We're going to hit the terminal. RUN!! (Cockpit door opens and slams shut. Pilot and copilot heard running to the back of the airplane screaming and yelling"

(This is the point where the Powerpoint presentation kicks in and displays a Continental flight that ran into a terminal.)

[LibertyGirl77]

Having flown that God-forsaken airline more times than I care to remember, I am downright cheered at this news. They ought to arrest everyone from the CEO on down to the toilet scrubber for gross incompetency and plain rudeness.
