The reckless endangerment counts are misdemeanors and the endangering aircraft charge is a felony, the district attorney’s office said.

Off-duty Alaska Airlines pilot Joseph David Emerson appeared in court Tuesday on dozens of attempted murder charges after allegedly trying to disable an aircraft’s engines midflight. Photo: Dave Killen/Associated PressPassengers on an Alaska Airlines flight during which an off-duty pilot attempted to shut off the engines sued the airline, claiming that the pilots weren’t carefully screened. The three passengers who filed the lawsuit said they have been scared to be on a plane since the Oct. 22 flight. On that trip, pilot Joseph David Emerson , who was sitting in a cockpit jump seat, reached for handles that would shut off the engines’ fuel, according to court records. The captain and first officer scuffled with him for about 30 seconds and managed to keep the handles from being pulled all the way.

The suit also names Horizon Air - the regional subsidiary operating the Alaska Airlines flight- as a defendant. Alaska Airlines in an emailed statement to Reuters said that they have received the complaint and are reviewing it. The suit also seeks injunctive relief mandating Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air to conduct examinations of all anticipated flight crew and jump seat passengers, including their "mental health status". Joseph David Emerson was the Alaska Airlines pilot who was riding as a standby employee passenger in the cockpit "jump seat".

"I'm excited about moving Web3, blockchain technologies past sort of the hype cycle that we've seen with digital collectibles and NFTs," Greg Reed, Universal Pictures' VP of technology partnerships, told Variety.
