She probably kept contact with center although my hat is off to her, I made many an Atlantic trip.

a ‘rambling and disjointed’ conversation

Were the words "Allahu akbar" heard?

Sounds like a “but I stayed in Holiday Inn lastnight” landing.

FAA minimum crew requirement for passenger liner? Anyway, I hope she logged the 2nd seat time.

“I don’t get the “emergency” once the co-pilot had been tied-down”

SOMEBODY has to read the checklist....

“the co-pilot had an apparent mental breakdown...”

Was he saying Allahu Akbar over and over while pushing the steering wheel as far forward as it would go?

If I was a passenger, I might be able to handle “we’re going to be hitting some rough weather” or “we’re running low on fuel” or even “one of the landing gear wheels is stuck”, but I would absolutely lose it if they asked, “By chance, does anyone here know how to fly a plane”.
