Case settled over JetBlue pilot's meltdown
Passengers and JetBlue Airlines have settled a negligence lawsuit after a JetBlue pilot suffered a mid-flight meltdown last year, prompting an airliner to make an unscheduled landing in Amarillo.
Airline spokeswoman Jenny Dervin said the lawsuit was settled in late April. Terms were not disclosed, the Associated Press reported.
A spokeswoman for the attorney representing 34 passengers confirmed Wednesday the lawsuit was “resolved amicably by the parties.”
Passengers claimed JetBlue was “grossly negligent” in allowing Capt. Clayton Osbon to fly.
