On this episode of AvTalk, we spend a full third of the episode attempting to understand what happened on Horizon Air flight 2059 after an off-duty Alaska Airlines pilot sitting in the flight deck jump seat tried to shut down the aircraft’s engines. Also this week, a pilot in Houston failed to follow ATC instructions and caused a collision on the runway, Boeing’s third quarter earnings, Pratt and Whitney’s GTF problems grow larger, JetBlue’s lawyers make an interesting argument, and Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker is stepping down.
