A California pilot has been indicted for threatening to shoot a flight’s captain if he diverted a flight due to a passenger medical issue. Jonathan J. Dunn was indicted on Oct. 18 for interfering with the crew of a commercial airline flight, the U.S. Department of Transportation Office of the Inspector General said in a news release. The incident unfolded on Aug. 22, 2022, when Dunn was the crew’s first officer.
The indictment said that Dunn “did assault and intimidate a crew member of an aircraft, thereby interfering with the performance of the duties of the crew member and lessening the ability of the crew member to perform those duties, and did use a dangerous weapon in assaulting and intimidating the crew member.” He was authorized to carry a firearm through the Transportation Security Administration’s Federal Flight Deck Officer program, authorities said.
