JetBlue pilot's bizarre behavior began at takeoff

The complaint, NBC News has learned, states Osbon arrived late to JFK and missed the crew briefing. As the flight took off, Osbon mentioned “being evaluated by someone” to the first officer, spoke of church and needing to “focus.” He asked the first officer to take the controls as he made incoherent comments about religion and then said, “things just don’t matter.”

Over the radio, Osbon yelled at air traffic controllers to be quiet and admonished the first officer for talking on the radio and then said, “we need to take a leap of faith.” He spoke of sins in Las Vegas and said, “we’re not going to Vegas,” according to the complaint.
