    He was getting a free flight from his airline because he was a pilot.

    Think it was a cargo plane so he was one of the only passengers. He freaked out, entered the cabin, and started trying to crash the plane. The actual pilots had to hit him with a wrench or something I think to stop him.

    This sounds like the FedEx hijacking attempt, flight 705.
