I think the answer you are going to get is , it allows them to control the narrative.

they know he is 100% sitting second seat when the plane pulls up to the gate

so they know who , where down to the seat and what he looks like and if they go on first they are dealing with just the cockpit.

if they wait they have to pick him out of a crowd or he gets tipped off that they are there for him , they want him to have no time to react.

while not the most convenient for the 200+ passengers it is the most convenient with the officers with the least possibility of a mistake in ID.

Flintstones compass!
(very cool btw)

Did you find one?

I'm not familiar with this incident, but to answer your question with a question: what if that pilot found out what was about to happened and took off again...suicidal mindset? With all the passengers still on board?

LE's element of surprise can save lives....

If it had been a passenger warrant....they'd likely waited, but one of the pilots still seated in the cockpit? Child sexual abuse charges? Nah...pounce on him asap!

Wouldn't have any stories to tell each other that way.

Been through a divorce early in my life, was miserable then and probably still is for most later on !! We were together only 7 years it was quiet and great until the last year when she got lonely she said, told her find we divorce and start over, she never expected that, just had a baby boy the years before !

I got a lawyer due to her playing the field, she did not have any funding to get her own, I just gave her all her stuff and kept the home we had gotten and been in only 6 months, lawyer said sale and split, I said no way, I put everything into getting the home
she did nothing, told him to write it up, she kept playing around and tried to talk me back into the marriage, said nope I'm done and your gone. I ended up paying child support for a few years, until my new wife's car accident with a load of kids going to school, which changed that payment and both mine and my new wife's life !!

With out the lawyer I would have had to split the home sale, I kept the home she got her stuff and we went different directions still took three months, but she was not a very good fighter either ! She did try and take part of our settlement from the accident to help her, but instead brought her own suit against the company who caused it, and her and I had to work out a new visiting arrangement with the first son, was ugly then though !!

I would recommend a lawyer even if you both agreed to a settlement with out one, will not be as expensive if she sleeps things over and changes the ball park rules the next week !

Almost 40 years is a long time to hide bickering and stuff that goes it, sorry you both stayed together that long !!

I think of how the K9s adapted to the coyotes moving east back in the 70s the wiser fox moved into the farm places to avoid conflict with the yotes the dumber one were killed. Lots of uncontrolled critters have moved into urban areas and learned to thrive off the surplus pets and garbage so that’s something.

The UP potato farmers fed the cull taters to the local deer the deer learned to dig potatoes on their own after a while so I’d say they adapted.

All the best on your special day!

When I got out of school in 73 there were no jobs, unless you knew someone. Hasn't been like that since then.
