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.

Another vaccinated pilot bites the dust.
Jesus Christ called people everywhere to repent, so if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe with all your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved and inherit the kingdom of heaven and eternal life. To this, people would accept Jesus Christ in life in their hearts and told other people how good he is, how he saves, heals and frees and gives eternal life for free 42
Having on a Pilot’s outfit means you are a pilot? Catch me if you can ends in flaming disaster.
Vaccine injury I’m guessing…
Stomach pain can happen to anybody that's why both pilot and co-pilot don't eat the same food.
That was God…beautiful ❤❤❤ 😊 God will place you right where you're supposed to be 😊
How did you screen the passenger-pilot?
Vaxxed and 10 boosters
It’s a good thing George Santos was on board to help with communications.
🤔
Grateful to hear everyone landed safely without any disaster! Unfortunately, this will continue to happen in the skies as the impact of the Covid mandates takes ahold of those who were forced to take the jab regardless of their desire to do so, just to maintain their work.
Over 80% of pilots took it for job security.
What happened to having a co pilot?
Looks like thankfully that man was a became a co pilot by default
Wow! Thank God for the off duty pilot! Thank you sir!!! U saved many lives!
Thank goodness pilots get medicals every year! I’m just thankful that they are allowed the resources to prevent conditions like these without risk of losing their medical and livelihood
One has to wonder at the yahoos commenting on a vax having a role in this. Get a grip!
Hoping Captain Clarence Oveur makes a speedy recovery.
I think they should always have extra pilots on every flight
Disgusting…southwest airlines had the vaxx mandate in place which was lifted because the union fought the mandate. Pretty much all the pilots received 2 quaxxs as was required in the beginningof the plandemic…crimes against humanity. Trolls, I know what's happening because I have numerous friends who work for Southwest. They know the quaxx is causing blood clots and heart attacks.
Any landing you can walk away from , is a good landing… !!! 😮
Vaccines?
So they went on the loud speaker asking for pilots ? Doesn't add up.
Burst Appendix!??? Happens to tough guys that don’t mind the pain. Happened to my father. Small bathroom scenario,… my mother heard a thud and no response from my father in said bathroom (large guy). So had to bust down the door and he was clammy passed out. BURST APPENDIX. It actually happened already with these guys but the loss of blood eventually catches up. ❤♾
Vaccination victim?
When are they going to blame president trump instead of this circus administration
Good thing the other pilot was on board to assist the co-pilot. Question: why was the pilot of another airline a passenger on Southwest when he can dead-head to a destination for free (free flight)?
Yea yet another example of southwest sucking
Thanks God🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Heroes that's for sure to appreciate. Captain feel better ok
Another victim of the jab-jab booster or another coincidence ?
“Joey, do you like movies about Gladiators?”
Who was the additional pilot that handled communication? No kudos for him???
How much damage is caused by the "safe and effective "vaccine. We will never know. I am a professional pilot with almost 25,000 hours flying.
Ohio situation….
USA needs this kind of luck.
V A X , it's not an airport abbreviation.
Why is customers capitalized? Lol
The reasons i never take those one pilot small aircrafts
What happened to the pilot? Is he alright?
You can bet that aluminum they’re putting in the air trying to lower the overall heat of the planet worry about overheating when they’re screwing up all the seasons of the Earth in the natural way that where they rotate
Vaccine collapse
Sad
Elon Musk will develop a self-landing plane to help with these types of situations.
Was the downed pilot vaccinated ?
So lame! The "new regulations" should have been already been done! A SUPERVISOR should pay more attention? Wtf
I've always said that airlines should have a backup pilot just in case. And that's why I don't fly. I know I can die driving but at least I'm in control. It's about time the airlines are made aware of the risks.
I'm glad he is okay and those brave men jumped in to get everyone off safely on the ground 😊❤
Rescue ? There was nothing to be rescued from. Rest assured the copilot is more than capable of taking over and landing the plane all by himself. They make it sound like the copilot is stowed away in a box until the captain needs a break or an emergency occurs. Sure it was great that the off duty pilot was onboard and helped but the first officer is more than capable of flying the aircraft all by him or herself.
