    Don't hijack during office hours

    Geneva — No Swiss fighter jets were scrambled Monday when an Ethiopian Airlines co-pilot hijacked his own plane and forced it to land in Geneva, because it happened outside business hours, the Swiss airforce said.

    When the co-pilot on flight ET-702 from Addis Ababa to Rome locked himself in the cockpit while the pilot went to the bathroom and announced a hijacking, Italian and French fighter jets were scrambled to escort the plane through their respective airspaces.

    The Swiss air force operates from 8:00-15:30, however, they do take a 90 minute lunch (12:00-13:30).
    There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.

        Sure, but then the Swiss guard the Pope, so it all works out.

          The Swiss can't be sending fighter jets up for every little hijacker. They are on a budget. Nazi gold only goes so far.
          To us, it is the BEAST.

            The pilot must have been cuckoo. Or desperate for a chocolate fix.

              When your top exports are gold and human blood, you don't have trouble getting others to do stuff for you.
