This made me think how I may have handled this.

I hope she gets all the help she needs.

Keep safe.

Thanks Cossack,

I’ve flown into LAS numerous times and remember her voice well - Quite recently in fact (last couple of months). She knew exactly what she was doing. They're a good natured, professional group. Hope she comes out ok.
