On radd I turned my Micael. Okay, well, lads, Sharon.
Donkey Today for Tuesday, October twenty fourth goes to a forty four year old Alaska Airlines pilot named Joseph d Emerson. Now, remember when I told y'all when I get on long flights, especially out the country, I always give the pilot a little gift, a Dunken Donuts gift card, Starbucks gift card, just some little token of appreciation because literally our life is in these pilots hands. You never know what people are dealing with, and a little kindness goes.
A long way.
And it's insane to me that folks board planes and don't even speak to the people that are you to your destination. You have forty thousand feet in the air, you're going. It's six hundred miles per hour and you don't speak to the person that's in charge all that, Like, y'all really don't know what folks be going through mentally and emotionally, and god forbid they have some type of
breakdown in the air. But apparently that is what happened in this situation because Joseph d Emerson allegedly tried to count.
The whole plane. Let's go to kron for News for the report. Police.
On Sunday afternoon, Alaska Airlines Flight two zero five to nine, a seventy six seat Horizon Air flight, was flying from Everett, Washington to San Francisco, when an off duty Alaska Airlines pilot who was riding in the jump seat, a third seat in the cockpit, allegedly tried to shut down the engines of the plane. The pilots were able to regain control and that man was removed from the cockpit. The pilots then requested to make an emergency landing in Portland.
That can be heard describing the situation over the radio.
We've got the guy that tried to shut into down out of the cockpit, and he doesn't sound like cousins. An issue on the back right now, I think to get on the ground of park.
After landing, the suspect was taken into custody without incident. He has since been identified as forty four year old Joseph David Emerson, a resident of Pleasant Hill. At this point, we don't know his motive for allegedly trying to turn off the engines, but he's now facing eighty three counts of attempted murder, along with reckless endangerment and one count of endangering and Aircraft's crazy.
Now you feel me, Now you feel me.
This is exactly why I show so much love to pilots. It's really just common sense. But y'all don't think about anyone but yourselves, so you don't even see the people who are helping.
You get to where you need to go.
When you get on a flight, you're thinking about where you're going to put your carry on. You're thinking about getting some sleep, doing some read and getting some work done. You're thinking about what you gotta do or who you got to do. When you land, you thinking about everything and everybody except for who's in that cock pit. Now, this is what should really bother us about this story. You heard it in the news report. Demand was off duty.
I don't know who the other pilots were, but Captain not if you off duty, you don't got no business riding in this cockpit. Okay, I don't even know what the flight you know that jump seat is, but I read that pilots will sometimes riding the cockpit jump seat when traveling and their official capacity are commuting between airports. This dude was not riding in an official capacity, so he had no business in that seat. Clearly, this man was on this flight just to cause a disturbance, just
to cause some harm. Whatever he was going through that day, he wanted to project onto others. You don't get on no plane sitting in the cockpit and attempt to do something that is going to cause the engine to shut down. Okay, unless you're really really going through something. This is Batman
villain level evil. You was trying to get the engine shut off so this plane could crash into a small town and salute to the crew on Alaska Airlines, drop on the clues bombs for them for some doing the guy and having a quick reaction to reset both handles to help you store the floor of fuel and prevent the engines from cutting off. If this was spirit the Southwest Airlines, everybody would have probably died. Okay, I'm not even sure they have cus. I'm not sure they have crews. Okay,
I mean that respectfully. Last time I flew Southwest that was about what twelve years ago, I'm about twelve years o. We were on Southwest right and we had to get on and play musical chess, you know what I mean.
Every man and woman for themselves.
And I don't remember them having any flight attendants too, like normal people.
They got a undcovered flight attendants.
They got like wear shorts, they could wear shorts, pants, w basically what they want.
They got volunteers.
If you volunteer to be a flight attendant on Southwest, you get the best seat on the plane. And I've never flown Spirit because the one time I was opposed to they canceled the flight for no reason. It never refunded me my money, so we got beef forever. Spirit don't have a crew either. Okay, listen, I know I have a list, and I'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary, but trust me when I tell you that doing a little something for a pilot can go.
A long way.
Be kind because you never know what somebody is going through, and in this case, always treat people kindly and appreciate them because you never know if it's your last day or their last day, and if they flying your plane, it could be both for y'as. So please give Joseph d Emerson and the D clearly stands for donkey to biggest he huh. Trying to tell y'all be nice to these pilots man when you get on the plane.
I'm have to do that.
I never thought about I speak to them, but I just never thought about the gift card.
I like that.
Even speaking is fine, just saying hello, how are you? Just sending y'all some positive energy from love and light? You know, I usually do the gift calls, and.
I got the country.
I need to start doing it when we uh in America, yest, especially flying over to the West coast. But just show some love to the pilots man. Salute all the pilots out there man. Probably probably some of the most unappreciated people in our uh, in our world today because we all get on these planes. We ain't thinking about the pilot. Were thinking about everything but the pilot. Yes, there ain't no way I'm trusting somebody, My life in somebody's hands like that without speaking to You're crazy.
Come on now, okay, Cappuccina, I flew southwest one time. You want to know why?
Why is that?
Charlamagne wanted us to go down to South Carolina.
He flew you out, he flew, he paid, He said, I'll take care of all the flights and everything. And when we got to the airport, it was southwest. And as soon as I stepped to fight, people started running in front of me. I'm like, well, I didn't run it playing music. I didn't know that there was no seats like you just well, not no seats, but those signed seats.
You got to pick your own seats. And I said, I.
Mean, you should appreciate those humble beginners. Okay, that's like crown roll bag full of change I got. That's Pripagino, Jesus Christ. You should you should appreciate those humble beginnings. All right, Well, thank you for that.
Dog.
