A Southwest flight was on its way from Las Vegas to Columbus, Ohio when the captain was unable to fly and the first officer had to take over. Then a pilot from another airline who happened to be on board jumped in to help with radio communications. NBC News’ Kristen Dahlgren shares more.

Hopefully the pilot is okay
Vaccinated captain….incapacitated captain…
What happens when you take the jab
I hope he's ok…
No IT'S THE BIOWEAPON VAXX 😕 …
The pilot who jumped in, I’m curious on what airline he worked for.
Geez, I was on a United flight, and the captain went down…. seems to be happening alot these days????
And this is what will start to happen more often because most of these pilots were forced to get vaccinated and many are now showing signs of their injuries. It’s just not being addressed or reported to the public on more mainstream stations.
The fact that the FAA expanded the guidelines in December of 2022 to allow pilots to continue to fly despite showing signs of cardiac abnormalities is beyond criminal!!!!!
Wow!! Glad it landed safely and 1st office was able to flight and another pilot jumped in.
It’s not that rare anymore.
Exceedingly rare.
Glad these people were tasked together with successful outcome and hope captain recovers well. Good job co- pilots!!!
Vaccine 💉
How convenient. Makes you go hmmmm
Whole buncha Vax
Off-duty pilot: Look at me, I am the captain now
I wish we could know what was wrong with the pilot and how he fared afterward.
Is it mandatory for commercial pilots to get checkups? It should be.
Wait, I’m confused, so the First officer is able to fly the plane? I thought he was just an assistant to the real pilot..
Had the Ill pilot been jabbed with mRNA for cv19?
To think, they want to have only one pilot on board to fly to cut expenses
Outfit?! Uniform would have been a better word. The pilot on board wasn't playing dress up.
Did he spit up whole eggs? 🥚
Oh man, I am glad he's ok.. In my 46yrs on earth who has flown at least 400 times, I've never been in such a situation so yea, it is very rare..
The road to becoming a pilot is really expensive
It's not rare anymore .Since 2021 pilots have been having a hard time —it's just not being reported.Most of the time pilots and other flight crew members take themselves off duty before getting in the cockpit , though.
The FO isn’t a downgraded rent-a-pilot version of the captain… he’s fully capable of flying that plane as he does it every other flight while the captain monitoring.
I think people think the captain ALWAYS flies the plane and that’s just not true.
After watching Malaysian flight 370 ill never fly agaon. Also. This pilot was either on drugs or alchohol and they leeping it hush
Let’s not forget how hard the airlines were pushing for pilots to take the poison 💉💉💉.
