A 19-year-old student pilot allegedly tried to enter an Alaska Airlines plane cockpit multiple times during a flight to Virginia earlier this month.
A student pilot reportedly has been charged after he allegedly tried to enter the cockpit of an Alaska Airlines plane multiple times during a flight earlier this month to Dulles International Airport in Virginia. Federal Air Marshal Thomas Pattinson said the incident involving 19-year-old Nathan Jones unfolded on Alaska Airlines Flight 322, which departed San Diego, California, on March 3. "Jones was a passenger on board that aircraft, assigned to seat 6E.
"The flight attendants also had to put the beverage cart out as a barrier to block the cockpit, and one of the flight attendants remained with the beverage cart." Pattinson, who works for the Transportation Security Administration, said law enforcement at Dulles contacted the FBI about Jones’ alleged behavior. "After the aircraft landed at Dulles, Jones gave verbal consent to search both his carry-on luggage and his checked luggage.
