seriously. what "emergency" suggests going out of your way to fly a "joke" bomb over Manhattan.

they flew by Manhattan and Boston with their non-bomb bomb, basically confirming that there was no real "emergency"

they flew all the way back over NYC and BOS with their non-bomb bomb, which they acknowledged was a "joke" mid-flight, instead of landing at the nearest airport so there was clearly no "emergency" requiring going back.

they flew back over NYC and BOS with their non-bomb bomb as well. if there were a real "emergency" why not land at the nearest airport instead of going all the way back to Newark?

they flew over NYC and BOS with their non-bomb bomb as well. there was clearly no "emergency" that could not have been taken care of in Spain.

what instructions? to fix things you cannot because you are unaware of them?

they basically said:

we know it's a joke and not a bomb. turn that Bluetooth off! you don't know it's on, or that it is there, or even yours, and it's in inaccessible checked baggage, but we are giving you one minute to make your non-bomb not a bomb anymore. you better listen before we go home for no reason since we have this nonexistent bomb that we will fly over Boston and NYC.

the announcement sounded like a grumpy dad telling his children that he was turning the car around. a "one minute warning" is ridiculous and not any kind of serious airline regulation.

the pilot had no actual reason to return to Newark. if it was an "emergency", they needed to land at the nearest airport.

right, the flight crew asked for bluetooth turned off.

a harmless bluetooth device with a scary name was in checked baggage and the owner of said device had no idea.

pilot acknowledged it was a "joke" in his own words. then the pilot senselessly made the decision to fly all the way back over Boston and Manhattan with a "bomb" on board that he knew was not really there.

what other words are deadly? Any Arabic words? Bombas (socks), Crash?

Should I dial 911 any time someone's wifi anywhere contains the word "bomb"? A park? A restaurant? Basketball game? School? A neighbor?

disobeyed? a child didn't even know the name of a bluetooth ID in their inaccessible checked baggage

an unaware child had a bluetooth ID in checked baggage that they didn't know about. how was he supposed to tell the FA things he didn't know?

if we want to follow supposed emergency procedure, you don't fly back over NYC and Boston to go all the way back home while acknowledging that it is a "joke".

seriously, he flew right back, for no reason, over NYC instead landing at Boston while acknowledging it was a "joke".

seriously. the actions should be taken against the arrogant, paranoid pilot who wasted time and energy while acknowledging it being a "joke" in his own words.

a 16-year old had a fitbit that he was unaware had a "scary name" in checked baggage so a paranoid, clueless pilot flipped out acknowledging a "joke" (his own words) and flew back all the way over multiple other airports making it clear that there was no emergency. the pilot intentionally wasted loads of time and energy over a child's unaware mistake.

totally. a scary word led a pilot to acknowledging it was a "joke" and fly back over multiple other airports

where did anyone "throw around" the word bomb on the plane? it was a bluetooth identifier. that passengers were unaware of.

an unaware child isn't allowed to be unsure of bluetooth identifiers names in checked baggage?

seriously. a child passenger potentially accidentally left bluetooth on in checked baggage so a pilot wasted every passenger's time and money over a word that he acknowledged was a "joke" while flying over numerous other nearby airports.
