A former Delta pilot has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Utah after allegedly intimidating his co-pilot with a firearm during a commercial flight last year.
Jonathan J. Dunn was indicted earlier this month for interfering with the crew of a commercial airline flight.
"After a disagreement about a potential flight diversion due to a passenger medical event, Dunn told the Captain they would be shot multiple times if the Captain diverted the flight," the department said in a statement. The TSA said in a statement to ABC News Wednesday it was "aware" of last year's incident. The agency said Dunn was removed from the Federal Flight Deck Officer program -- which authorizes certain pilots to carry a TSA issued firearm onboard planes "to defend the flight deck against an act of criminal violence or air piracy."
