HE HAD A GRUDGE TO SETTLE, NOT WITH HER AIRLINE, JUST A GRUDGE. PRIOR TO TAKE OFF WITH CHUTES AND MONEY, HE REQUESTED PILOT TAKE OFF WITH REAR LADDER DOWN, TO FLY WITH FIFTEEN PERCENT FLAPS AND GEAR DOWN. PILOT ADVISED [REDACTED] AIRCRAFT COULD NOT BE TAKEN OFF WITH LADDER DOWN. THIS WAS CONFIRMED THROUGH [REDACTED] OF NORTHWEST AIRLINES, MINNEAPOLIS. SHE LATER LEARNED THROUGH [REDACTED] THAT IT WAS DETERMINED FROM BOEING THAT PARTICULAR TYPE OF AIRCRAFT COULD TAKE OFF WITH REAR LADDER DOWN. HIJACKER, AFTER BEING TOLD PILOT COULDN'T TAKE SHIP OFF WITH LADDER DOWN, COMMENTED IN A LOW VOICE, "YES YOU CAN, BUT GO AHEAD AND RAISE IT, WE CAN LOWER IT ONCE WE'RE IN THE AIR."

HIJACKER, WHILE ON GROUND, BECAME IRRITATED AT DELAY IN TAKE OFF AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE PILOT HAD TO FILE A FLIGHT PLAN TO WHICH HE ANSWERED, "HE CAN CALL THEM OVER THE RADIO ONCE WE'RE UP AND FILE IT." ONCE AIRBORN, HE SAID, "WE'RE GOING TO MEXICO," DID NOT GIVE A HEADING, BUT INDICATED HOW HE WANTED PLANE FLOWN WITH FLAPS SETTING AND GEAR DOWN. HE FURTHER WANTED THE PLANE END PAGE TWO
