A flight attendant helped out with more than just soda and snacks during American Airlines Flight 1612 from San Francisco to Chicago on Monday, RadarOnline.com has learned, when she took over for a co-pilot who had fallen sick, and successfully helped land the aircraft at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.

American Airlines spokesman Tim Wagner said the flight attendant stepped up when the co-pilot was unable to continue due to severe flu-like symptoms.

The co-pilot, according to Wagner, "went back into the passenger cabin. That's when [he] began to solicit help from any passengers with a pilot's license."

At that point, the attendant informed the captain that she is a commercial pilot, and the rest was smooth sailing for the crew and 225 passengers aboard.

Show executives scrambled at the last minute and changed their mind on guests for the pilot. They had originally decided on Mel B and Christie Brinkley but scheduling problems and differences of opinion led to a change of plans during the last few days. That type of upheaval is commonplace with TV pilots, a person connected to the show told RadarOnline.com.

And one source familiar with the taping told RadarOnline.com: “It went extremely well. Everyone there loved it. And Kate did great. There’s no question that she was a hit.”
