He apparently was unable to grasp the concept of government "bailout."

I think when he realized that his "Plan A "didn't quite work out the way he planned he had to think up a "Plan B" on the fly.

The airplane running out of gas was bad enough, but the "mayday" was a real screw up. It was because of the "mayday" that the fighter jets were vectored to intercept him. They saw the door open, no broken windows, and no pilot long before it ran out of gas.

He should have just kept his mouth shut, and he would have made it a whole lot farther than he did.

Exactly!
