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

This isn’t the way to address frustration with your employer

What you're supposed to do is send a polite email once per year, wait until the business goes bankrupt, watch the boss make off with millions, and never get any of your back-pay.

How is anyone expected to survive 5 months without pay? The flight charts are absolutely a safety critical item, and making pilots buy them without pay should be criminal. If an airline can't operate safely, then they shouldn't operate.

The pilot put no-one in danger by doing this.
