United Airlines flight 4830 from Little Rock to Houston diverted to Monroe, Louisiana on Monday due to reported smell of smoke in the cockpit. The Embraer 145 regional jet (registration N14148) was operated by CommutAir and originally delivered to Expressjet in 2003.
There were a few interesting things about this flight. First, the aircraft was held on the tarmac until emergency services had inspected it, worrying passengers who thought they should have been evacuated quickly. Second, United ordered everyone pizza.
