Over the skies of Chicago and O'Hare International airport a co-pilot got sick this week. So what to do? Grab one of the flight attendants (who has a pilot's license) and have her help you land the plane! It all went down Monday of this week on a American Airlines flight from San Fran to Chicago.

One the pilot discovered the problem they checked on board with the attendants to see if any of them were off-duty pilots and one of them was, a woman. So she jumped up in the cockpit and helped land the plane safely. Once on the ground they took the sick co-pilot to a local hospital where he later checked out just fine.
It's about time we have a good news airline story to report on!
