Chapter 14 / 30
Chapter 14 - Captain KellerFlight 229 captain David Keller faced criticism online for giving controls to passenger.
Airline review found decision reasonable under extreme circumstances due Sarah’s verified qualifications and degraded conditions.
Sarah testified:
“Captain Keller did not abandon command. He used available qualified resource.”
That mattered.
She refused hero narrative requiring someone else incompetent.
Keller thanked her.
Then said:
“You know what bothered me?”
“What?”
“You looked happier flying broken airplane than sitting in 18F.”
Sarah stared.
“That's not healthy.”
“No.”
But true.
She missed flying where every sense mattered.
Not danger.
Purpose.
