Does Anyone Know How to Fly This Thing?

I normally try and stick to things I know well in my writing here, because I think that makes it a bit more relevant and interesting.  However, this one was too good to pass up:

In short, the co-pilot went crazy, and had to be restrained, leaving the flight without a co-pilot.  Luckily, it turns out that one of the flight attendants was qualified enough to help out, but not before:

The pilot then asked flight attendants to find out if any passenger was a qualified pilot.

I can just imagine what it must be like to have the flight attendants come on the loudspeaker and ask if anyone on board, perchance, knows how to fly the plane.
