He sounds like a great guy that flipped out and can't fly any more.
Who says that he can't fly anymore?
I see a lot of folks on here placing this colleague of ours in a box very close to the nutters who plot and plan to take over an aircraft and do damage.
Even from reading the sensationalist news-crap that has been linked on here, it is easy to work out that this was not the case.
There is nothing to substantiate anything that has been said so far about the reason for this man's actions.
The doctors will decide.
A mental breakdown, maybe.
But it could also be something like a contaminant or a virus, which may not be the career breaker that you have so casually placed on him.
Why knock the poor guy down even further than he already is?
Can you imagine if it was you?
