Frontier Airlines confirmed the cancellation of a flight on Saturday due to the arrest of one of its pilots. Seymour Walker, 45, was detained on a family violence warrant after the plane landed at George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Walker was scheduled to pilot the next leg to Dallas.
"The activity occurred prior to the start of boarding for Flight 3195 scheduled from IAH to Dallas Fort Worth (DFW). A replacement crew member was not immediately available and therefore the flight was canceled," stated Frontier Airlines.
Authorities coordinated the arrest by waiting for Walker’s inbound flight at the gate. They apprehended him after all passengers had disembarked, ensuring there were no incidents during the process. Passengers affected by the cancellation received refunds, credits, or seats on subsequent flights.
