A JetBlue pilot was taken off a flight at Logan Airport this week after he allegedly threatened to kill himself “in spectacular fashion” in an email to his girlfriend.
The pilot was reportedly threatening the act if they broke up. The girlfriend is a flight attendant.
JetBlue insists that no reference to a crash was made and denounced the suggestion as “vicious rumor and speculation.”
One account reported that a gun was taken off the pilot at the airport, here.

Kudos to the one who reported the possibility to the authorities and double kudos to the ones who took it seriously enough to investigate.
I remember the Egyptian crash…maybe there is 1 less crash to report today because of those who spoke up…GOOD-O!
And exactly how did this get leaked to the news?
There was in fact an Egyptian pilot who commited suicide while flying his plane filled with a couple hundred passengers-it’s happened before. Jet Blue is just doing PR damage control.
