A Magnicharters Boeing 737 captain was furious over unpaid wages, so he locked himself in the cockpit and "hijacked" the plane.

Guile Theme for the pilot, and something that rhymes with Guile Theme for the corrupt corporate psychopaths… guil tine, guyo thein, guilothene, guillotine? I don't know.

Anyone resenting this man is remarkably off-target or trolling. Obviously in a perfect world this is not the ideal method of conflict resolution. Sadly our world is far from perfect. Five months of unpaid wages is incredibly distressing because it is a form of psychological abuse. In that light he behaved exemplary, a calculated peaceful protest. He's not a danger to anyone except for the profit margins of his decrepit bosses.
