NightSide - Would You Want To Know If Your Pilot Died?
BOSTON (CBS) - American Airlines pilot Captain Michael Johnston sadly passed away on Monday during a flight from Phoenix to Boston. The plane was rerouted to Syracuse, New York, where the co-pilot managed to safely land it. Medical emergencies can and obviously do happen midflight from time to time, but it's not usually the pilot that needs attention. As a passenger, would you want to know if your pilot passed away during the flight? Or would you rather not know until you're back on the ground?
