Imagine that you are traveling in a flight. Suddenly the pilot comes out of the cockpit and tells the passengers that he has not received training to land the plane. What will be the condition of the passengers in such a situation? What will be the atmosphere inside the flight? A passenger shared this experience on the social media platform Reddit.
The passenger wrote that he took a flight from Portland to Jackson Hole on August 8. But suddenly he came to know that the pilot did not know how to land the plane.
The pilot doesn’t know how to land the plane?
He further says that the pilot told all the passengers on the flight that he is not able to land the flight in Jackson Hole. We will have to divert our flight to Salt Lake City, Utah. We will keep giving you further information.

Passengers had to wait for 3 hours
The user further said that finally the plane landed at Salt Lake and all the passengers had to wait for about an hour. A new pilot came after a few hours and then our flight finally landed at Jackson Hole. All the passengers heaved a sigh of relief. He said that overall we landed three hours late than the scheduled time. Believe me, the reason for this was a pilot who did not know how to land a plane. According to the user, this incident happened with Alaska Airlines, although People News described it as Skywest Airlines.

SkyWest Airlines issued a statement. SkyWest Airlines said the pilot was fully capable of landing the plane. The plane was diverted to complete some paperwork.
