Troubles keep piling up for the JetBlue pilot who melted down last month. Not only was he suspended, but now he’s been indicted. In a federal court in Texas, he was charged with interfering with a flight crew.
According to CNN, court documents say the pilot “did knowingly and willingly interfere and attempt to interfere with the performance of the duties of a flight crew member and flight attendant.”
Last week, the U.S. attorney’s office suggested the pilot — who was wrestled to the ground by passengers after he started ranting and raving — is possibly mentally incompetent and may not be able to comprehend the charges he faces.
