Southwest Pilot Collapsed Shortly After Takeoff – 5th Pilot Collapse In Past 3 Weeks!

Southwest Airlines 737 Portland.

(Dr. william Makis) Pilot Josh Yoder reports: “I’m being notified by passengers on a Southwest flight departing Las Vegas that the captain became incapacitated soon after takeoff this morning. He was removed from the flight deck and replaced by a non Southwest pilot who was commuting on that flight. This is now the fifth pilot incapacitation that I’m aware of in the past two weeks. I will post more details as they become available.” (here)

This comes on the heels of the FAA decreasing the cardiac physical requirements for pilots, because so many failed.
