United Airlines Flight Reportedly Makes Emergency Landing Due to “Incapacitated Pilot”

A United Airlines flight from Guatemala to Chicago was diverted to Houston for an emergency landing Saturday evening due to an “incapacitated pilot,” according to an internal document given to CD Media.

“UA Flight 2007 GUA-ORD is diverting to IAH. Declaring an emergency for an incapacitated pilot. Gated at E20. Current ETA shows 1747. Unknown if flight will clear here at this time or just re-crew and go. Will advise when information is available. Pilot reportedly taken to a hospital,” the UAL Operation Center stated.

“Left seat Capt had chest pains.  Could not get him out of the seat.  Right seater landed,” the UAL file reportedly added.

A United Airlines flight going to Chicago had to make an emergency landing in Houston on Saturday due to the pilot allegedly becoming incapacitated.

From CD Media:

On Saturday evening, KHOU-TV Houston reported that the airport spokesperson told that news organization that the flight was diverted “due to a technical issue.”

UAL’s CEO Scott Kirby has prided himself for making mandatory covid vaccinations part of UAL’s branding since August 2021 when he first mandated the shots.

At that time, UAL employees could apply for a religious or medical exemption. Kirby has claimed publicly that 99% of their employees have been vaccinated.

But, there is more to Kirby’s proclamations. If a religious exemption was granted, employees were put on “unpaid leave.” They did not have access to any of their benefits, including medical, vision, life, and their 401(K) accounts. If they wanted to continue with their medical insurance, they had to make payments which was burdensome because they were not receiving paychecks. It was only in March 2022 when those put on unpaid leave were invited back to work.

This is the third such incident this month where an airline pilot reportedly had a medical emergency.

The first officer of a Virgin Australia regional flight from Adelaide to Perth reportedly became incapacitated after suffering a heart attack 30 minutes into the flight, according to an incident report by The Aviation Herald.

Also, a British Airways pilot reportedly collapsed just before his scheduled commercial flight from Cairo, Egypt to London’s Heathrow Airport.

According to reports, the veteran pilot suffered a heart attack in the crew’s hotel.

Although colleagues performed CPR on the pilot, he tragically passed away.
