Southwest pilot accused of indecent exposure during flight
A pilot, Michael Haak, who was commanding a Southwest Airlines plane in Aug. 2020 was charged on Friday with a misdemeanor for allegedly committing a lewd act during the flight from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Orlando, Florida.
“On or about August 10, 2020 ... MICHAEL HAAK, intentionally committed an act of lewd, indecent and obscene exposure of his genitals in a public place ...
“The acts began, continued and were completed while the aircraft was in flight from Philadelphia to Orlando.”
Haak was charged under 49 U.S. Code § 46506(2), which deals with the “Application of certain criminal laws to acts on aircraft.”
“The Pilot in question is no longer employed by Southwest Airlines and departed the company last year prior to us becoming aware of the matter. The event was recently brought to our attention and we’ve cooperated with the appropriate outside agencies as they investigate.” Southwest Airlines spokesperson Brandy King said in a statement.
