Passenger Takes the Helm of a Delayed Flight and Flies the Plane Himself
Budget airlines get a bad rap, but you have to admit, they do make for some of the best travel stories. When an EasyJet flight from Manchester Airport in the UK to Alicante, Spain, was delayed because the pilot went missing, a passenger stepped up to fly the plane. And no, it’s not as terrifying as it may sound. Licensed EasyJet pilot Michael Bradley happened to be aboard the plane and, learning of the delay in advance, brought along his license and ID just in case his services were needed.
