Pilot Sues Southwest Airlines After Co-Pilot Locked Cockpit Door, Stripped, And Masturbated In Front Of Her

Surprised this wasn’t on Spirit Airlines, but the sex crime was committed on a flight to Florida, so at least that makes sense. Via AP:

According to the lawsuit filed last week in Orange County, Florida, Janning had never met Haak before August 2020, when she was his co-pilot on a flight from Philadelphia to Orlando.

Janning said that when they reached cruising altitude, Haak told her this was his final flight and there was something he wanted to do before retirement.

She said he bolted the door so no flight attendant could enter. He then put the plane on autopilot, stripped off his clothes, began watching pornography on his laptop and committed a lewd act for 30 minutes while taking photos and videos of himself.

Janning said in the lawsuit that she was “horrified,” but she kept flying the plane while taking photos “to create a record.” The plane landed safely.

Imagine if she had crashed the plane and killed everyone on board, all because of a masturbating pilot? Haak, the psychotic Florida-based pilot, was only sentenced to probation and a fine after pleading guilty last year to a misdemeanor charge. Janning, the one now suing Southwest, says the airline retaliated by grounding her and keeping Haak employed despite a “history of sexual misconduct.” She’s also suing Haak for sexual assault.
