Passengers on a flight out of Lynchburg Regional Airport had to be offloaded from a plane while a bomb dog checked it Sunday afternoon after a man commented that the plane would crash, according to airport and Campbell County officials.
“According to deputies, he told the TSA he was God, but his back hurt, so he wasn’t going to show them his powers,â€￾ he said.

Not too be too much of a nitpicker, but US flights in the 4000 range are technically US Airways Express flights operated by Piedmont. Granted Piedmont is a wholly-owned carrier but really can't be considered mainline US Airways as the thread title implies.

This just in from the snide remarks Department:

US doesn't need to have God's help to delay a flight, they're quite capable of doing it all by themselves.

Make that a "She is quite capable of doing it all by herself."

Sometime in 80's there was a start-up airline attempt called "The Lord's Airline". They did lease a DC-8, but never operated.

I think it was George Burns........first the grocery store.....now the airport. Maybe he really is God, our Lord has a great sense of humor.

Look at the Middle East. Three religions (Muslim, Christian and Hebrew), all worshiping the same god, yet at "religious" war with each other. Only a god with a sense of humor could have set that up.
