The class-action lawsuit calls for the involved airlines to create a more rigorous pre-flight screening for pilots.
The class-action lawsuit, filed by a Washington-based law firm on behalf of three passengers, calls for the airline and its affiliate, Horizon Air, to create a more rigorous pre-flight screening for pilots and an explanation from the airline about the incident.
"Plaintiffs were left in the dark about what was happening. Passengers did not know what was wrong," according to the lawsuit."Thoughts of a complete plane malfunction or terrorist activity naturally entered their minds." The lawsuit also cited concerns of"pervasive mental illness" among pilots. Experts have said that many pilots avoid mental health care for fear of losing their jobs.
