US President Donald Trump welcomed to the White House on Tuesday the pilot of a Southwest Airlines jet which lost an engine in flight and praised the "incredible job" she did in landing the stricken plane. Southwest Captain Tammie Jo Shults, other members of the crew of Flight 1380 and several passengers who were on the aircraft met with Trump in the Oval Office. Shults, one of the first women fighter pilots in the US Navy, has been hailed as a hero for calmly landing the Boeing 737-700 on April 17 after a midair engine explosion.
