An arraignment is set for tomorrow in the case of Joseph David Emerson, the off-duty Alaska Airlines pilot accused of attempting to crash a plane carrying over 80 people back in October. The 44-year-old pilot faces serious charges related to endangering the lives of passengers and the aircraft itself.

Emerson, indicted by a grand jury, is now confronted with 83 counts of recklessly endangering another person and one count of endangering an aircraft. Notably, the grand jury decided not to pursue the 83 charges of attempted murder that Emerson was initially facing.
