Subject: AA Pilot Terrifies Passengers


An American Airlines pilot terrified passengers on his flight when he asked
Christians to identify themselves and went on to call non-Christians
"crazy".
Some passengers on the flight from Los Angeles to New York were so worried
they
tried to call relatives on their mobile phones.

The pilot, whose name was not released, asked Christians on Friday's flight
to
raise their hands.

He then suggested non-Christians talk to the Christians about their faith.

He went on to say that "everyone who doesn't have their hand raised is
crazy",
passenger Amanda Nelligan told CBS news.

"He continued to say, 'Well, you have a choice: you can make this trip
worthwhile, or you can sit back, read a book and watch the movie'," she
said.

The pilot also told passengers he would be available for discussion at the
end
of the flight.

'Bizarre'

Ms Nelligan said passengers had thought the pilot's behaviour was "bizarre"
and
wondered whether his comments were a threat.

Flight attendants notified ground control.

American Airlines spokesman Tim Wagner said the incident was being
investigated.

"It falls along the lines of a personal level of sharing that may not be
appropriate for one of our employees to do while on the job," he added.
