The JetBlue pilot arrested after an apparent midair meltdown last week was taken to the federal courthouse in Amarillo, Texas, Monday morning, a court official said.
Authorities transferred Clayton Osbon, the captain of JetBlue Flight 191, from a hospital where he has been treated since last Tuesday to the courthouse. A court clerk said he probably would appear before a judge.
Osbon has not made an initial court appearance since he was arrested and charged with interfering with a flight crew.
His remarks and erratic behavior on the planned five-hour flight from New York's Kennedy International Airport to Las Vegas led the co-pilot to lock him out of the cockpit, according a federal criminal complaint.

I hope that the pilot gets professional help with whatever issues he has.
I'll walk thank you. 🙂

I know that being a pilot is a high-stress job, but...wow.
Screaming at the control tower that they were too loud?
Wow.
This man needs serious help.
May he get it.
He probably walked in on his wife with another man an now he feels he missed out on life with a man but can't accept his inner desires so commits a criminal act so he will go to prison to satisfy these desires an play coy but it really changes his life and he becomes enlightened

Yeah Opal, thats EXACTLY what I was thinking. Weird.
OMG!
Too funny!
I wonder if they'll ever take unmanned aerial vehicles to court. Today the FAA's having a webinar on the policies used for robot drones in the civilian skies, as per http://www.patexia.com/feed/faa-legalizing-uavs-in-civilian-airspace-flying-robocop-drones-patrolling-the-neighborhood-3776 - then again, maybe unmanned aerial vehicles is just what the doctor ordered, less loony pilots!
