An off-duty pilot was charged with trying to turn off a plane's engines while riding in the cockpit. The pilot was sitting in the "jump seat" which gave him easy access to the cockpit's operations. The 'jump seat'Emerson was riding in the plane's cockpit "jump seat" when he began acting strangely, according to federal court documents. "As far as we know, this pilot was perfectly legal and perfectly certified to be riding in the jump seat," Brickhouse said of Emerson.

☆ Dangerously close near-miss incidents across the US are a wakeup call to the aviation industry

The New York Times cited a shortage of air traffic controllers as a significant factor in the string of close calls. During breakout sessions at the safety summit, officials offered theories like inexperienced first officers and overworked air traffic controllers as contributing to the near-disasters. The Times pointed to the challenges surrounding air traffic controllers, in particular, as a root cause. "Air traffic controllers and pilots all play critical roles." While technology is important, Brickhouse says humans are still essential to aviation safety.

A United Airlines wing clipped the tail of another aircraft during pushback at Boston airport on Monday. No injuries were reported, but the Federal Aviation Administration told Insider it is investigating the event. In early February, two other United planes — a Boeing 787 and a Boeing 757 — collided at Newark, with the latter nearly losing its entire winglet. About a week later, an American Airlines aircraft crashed into a shuttle bus at Los Angeles International Airport, sending four to the hospital. Then, in February, a FedEx Boeing 767 cargo plane nearly landed on top of a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 passenger jet in Austin.
