Four days after an Alaska Airlines pilot tried to ground a plane mid-flight in October of last year, another pilot named Matthew Lankins used the FAA’s reporting hotline, meant to be a one-stop shop for industry insiders and the public alike to report airline related safety concerns, to report the alleged use of mushrooms and dangerous behavior by another Alaska Airlines pilot.
For 19 days, the bureaucratic wheels of the FAA spun, with the agency telling Lankins his complaint was being handed from department to department but with no clear answers about what was being done to follow up on his complaint. Frustrated with the run-around he was getting from the government regulatory agency, Lankins reached out to Alaska Airlines. The company grounded the pilot in question within hours, keeping him out of the cockpit while an investigation was completed.
Here's the story as told through the FAA whistleblower.
