(My words)…this is truly heartbreaking for the AAL and aviation family. I had a friend whose father was a captain for a small airline and he almost died of a heart attack after landing and pulling in to the gate. It was a big ordeal. They had to call medical responders through the jetway and onto the aircraft, holding all personnel in the aircraft while they deplaned the captain. I’m really praying for the family of this FO.
Hasn’t this happened before when another pilot passed away before landing? I can recall a topic with an Airbus Captain of AA on the forum I think last year.
My deepest condolences and I hope he can rest in peace. Thanks for helping to serve American Airlines and bring those passengers throughout the continent.
