What does it feel like to have someone die in your place, not once, but twice? First Officer Steve Scheibner lived out that reality on September 11, 2001. He was originally scheduled to be the First Officer on American Airlines Flight 11.
September 10, 2001, First Officer Steve Scheibner packed his suitcase and waited for the phone call finalizing his assignment to fly American Airlines Flight 11, from Boston to Los Angeles. The call never came. In My Seat recounts the events leading up to Flight 11 and the subsequent death of Tom McGuinness in the seat that should have been filled by Steve Scheibner.
