This thread is a shocking embarrassment to the civil aviation community at large, and to UAL specifically.

Am I to believe the designated commander of an intercontinental widebody airliner, the enormous responsibility concomitant with that position, was not able to deal effectively and safely with a minor emotional outburst of a crewmember under his command? Land it half-way in MIA on a half-baked hunch? Or an uncomfortable bowel movement perhaps?

Dementia, ADD, Alzheimers, or just plain UAL systemic seniority syndrome, don’t know, but off with his farcical head. High time to go play forever-golf at the Shady Pines retirement home in southern Florida, God’s own little waiting room.

We’ll all be there one day not so distant…
