It was not immediately clear if Mr. Emerson had a lawyer. Mr. Emerson, of Pleasant Hill, Calif., has been a first officer and then a captain for more than two decades. Multnomah County court records indicate he does not have a criminal record. On Sunday, Mr. Emerson was riding in a jump seat in the cockpit of an Alaska Airlines jet, an Embraer 175, the authorities said. Professional pilots say it is common for them to ride in the cockpit jump seat while shuttling to and from work.
