In this video, Captain Steeeve breaks down the newly released cockpit voice recordings from the 2023 incident involving Alaska Airlines Flight 2059, where an off-duty pilot seated in the jumpseat attempted to shut down the engines while the aircraft was in flight.
The audio captures the real-time reactions of the flight crew as they quickly recognize the threat, physically intervene, and coordinate an emergency diversion to Portland. Captain Steeeve walks through what you’re hearing in the cockpit, why the crew’s response was critical, and how cockpit procedures, crew resource management (CRM), and physical cockpit design prevented a catastrophic outcome.
