• Pilot Joseph David Emerson, 44, faces attempted murder and aircraft endangerment charges.
• He’s an Alaska Airlines captain and licensed flight instructor.
• Currently in custody without bail in Portland.

Off-duty Alaska Airlines pilot Joseph David Emerson made headlines in October 2023 when he was suspected of attempting to shut down the engines on a Horizon Air flight midair. He is charged with 83 counts of attempted murder, 83 counts of reckless endangerment, and one count of putting an aircraft in risk. Emerson’s actions startled the aviation world, and he is currently being imprisoned without bail at the Multnomah County Detention Center in Portland.

Emerson, who was born in Washington, D.C., in January 1979, keeps a low profile when it comes to his family. He is 44 years old and of American descent. He went to college after high school, although the precise institution is unknown. He emanates confidence despite his height of 6 feet 1 inch and weight of roughly 95 kg.

Emerson is a married man with a swimming coach wife named Sarah Stretch. They have two sons and live in a $1.3 million home in Pleasant Hill, California. He is an Alaska Airlines captain and a licensed flight instructor with over two decades of experience in the aviation industry. In 2023, his net worth is expected to be around $1 million.
