@cbsnews: A Delta flight from Los Angeles to Boston diverted to Detroit after the pilot became ill midflight. The pilot can be heard telling a controller that he needed to go to the hospital once they reached the gate. Delta says the flight landed safely, the crew member disembarked and the flight was re-crewed before continuing to Boston. The nature of the illness was not disclosed. #aviation #delta #pilot #atc #plane
I bet nobody asked him if it was anxiety or stress

appendix- it would have been brewing already, but the pressure change in a plane during flight causes bodily gasses to expand. A swollen appendix can become a ruptured one up there

At the risk of being flamed on the internet; the co-pilot is flying. He’s running checklists, too busy to talk on the radio. Captain is helping him and is also able to coordinate over the radio
