Delta Air Lines says the pilot accused of threatening to shoot the plane’s captain during a flight no longer works for the airline. Delta said Wednesday it would not comment further on the incident, which happened on a flight last year. Jonathan J. Dunn was indicted Oct. 18 and charged with interfering with a flight crew.
FILE - A Delta Air Lines plane takes off from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Nov. 22, 2022, in Atlanta. In a statement released Wednesday, Nov. 1, 2023, Delta Air Lines said the pilot accused of threatening to shoot the plane’s captain during a flight no longer works for the airline, and federal officials say his authority to carry a gun on board was revoked.
“Out of respect for the ongoing aviation authority investigation of this incident, Delta will refrain from commenting on this matter but will confirm that this First Officer is no longer employed at Delta,” the airline said in a statement Wednesday. The TSA said Wednesday that it “immediately” removed Dunn from the program “upon learning of his actions, and took away his equipment.”
