A JetBlue flight to Las Vegas was diverted to Texas due to what
the airline described as a "medical situation" involving the captain -
who one witness said had to be restrained after he pounded on
the locked cockpit door.


The man screamed "say your prayers, say your prayers" at
horrified passengers after running up and down the aisle shouting
"Iraq, al-Qaeda, terrorism, we're all going down", The Daily Mail reported.

Mental breakdown: A JetBlue flight captain, pictured, was restrained and taken to hospital, after going berserk mid-flight and screaming at passengers to say their prayers because the plane was going down.

AD,
I dont know what u r talkin about!
The Tower must ask the endurance by an aircraft, in terms of hours, so as to compare with the distance of the route requested, prior to approval of the taxiing out!
Or u mean the tower should freely sign death-certificates...huh!
 

tower (air traffic control ) don't sign death certificates or ask if you have enough fuel "IS NOT THERE JOB"
the main job of air traffic controller is to separate aircraft in an "CONTROL" airspace only..

Your endurance is noted on your flight plan and so the information is available to them. In an emergency they may confirm that you have enough fuel on board; ie if you have been losing fuel or have adjusted the consumption to increase your endurance. However, just entering controlled airspace under VFR or normal conditions does not require that ATC unit to check or confirm the amount of fuel or endurance that an aircraft has. This is always the Captains (pilot in command) responsibility.
 
Tower:Have you got enough fuel or not?
Pilot: Yes.
Tower: Yes what??
Pilot: Yes, SIR!

By the way AD,
From the two quotations above, lets shorten the discussion by taking an assumption that the ATCO asked the pilot concerning his endurance, may be it was in some emergency situation enroute, coz we dont have further conversation, right?... after all disregard(ha ha haaa!), coz its a jokes series!

I once worked in a place where it wasnt so easy to get the flight plan once filed by the pilot, so the only way was to ask the PIC, and i could then proceed to fill the flight progress strip!...huh!
The other problem connected with this thang is, the tower is always too high from the ground level, while the (C) thing (ATIS) must always be on ground in order to facilitate the ATI-users, so for the non-computerized systems, one has to keep moving up and down to relay the FP's!....huh!
 
This happens. Marekani na nchi nyingi zilizoendelea, watu wana msongo mkubwa wa mawazo kutokana na aina ya maisha wanayoishi kuwa na stress sana. Huenda hii ilichangia sana kuharibu akili ya rubani mhusika.
By the way, ujumbe alioutoa kwa abiria wake nadhani ni ujumbe mbaya ambao hakuna abiria wa ndege angependa kuusikia pindi akiwa angani. It the worst nightamare!
