Delta Co-Pilot Indicted for Threatening to Shoot Captain Midflight, Challenged Vax Mandate

Jonathan Dunn, a former Delta Air Lines co-pilot, who was charged with interfering with a flight crew for allegedly threatening to shoot a commercial aircraft's captain, had previously challenged a COVID vaccine mandate in a failed U.S. Supreme Court case. Dunn, who also served in the U.S. Air Force, sought to stop disciplinary action for refusing the vaccine on religious grounds but lost the case. In the August incident, Dunn allegedly threatened to shoot the captain multiple times if the flight was diverted due to a passenger's medical issue.

Federal court blocks Biden's vaccine mandate for U.S. government workers.

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans has blocked President Joe Biden's order that federal employees get vaccinated against Covid, rejecting arguments that Biden has the same authority as the CEO of a private corporation to require that employees be vaccinated. The ruling maintains the status quo for federal employee vaccines and upholds a preliminary injunction blocking the mandate issued by a federal judge in January 2022. The case will return to that court for further arguments, when both sides will have to grapple with the White House's announcement that the Covid emergency will finally end on May 11, 2023.
