A former Delta pilot has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Utah after allegedly intimidating his co-pilot with a firearm during a commercial flight last year. Jonathan J. Dunn was indicted earlier this month for interfering with the crew of a commercial airline flight. Dunn was allowed to carry a firearm on the flight through the Transportation Security Administration’s Federal Flight Deck Officer program. The agency said Dunn was removed from the Federal Flight Deck Officer program -- which authorizes certain pilots to carry a TSA issued firearm onboard planes "to defend the flight deck against an act of criminal violence or air piracy."
