If ever there was a warning about the insanity of letting pilots carry guns in the cockpit, this is it. Alas, this chap was clearly not playing with a full deck of cards - his flying career is well and truly 'over and out'. A tragic end, but it could have been a whole lot worse. Mercifully, the guy's girlfriend appears to have done the right thing and coughed up to the authorities, before a total catastrophe occurred. No doubt some lawyer will argue he is the victim of a smear campaign and was doing just great until someone trod on his hamster when he was a child etc, etc. Jet Blue will end up getting sued for unfair dismissal, defamation of character, loss of earnings, emotional trauma and so forth. Whatever the outcome, I trust they will stand firm and ensure that this guy's flying days are all behind him.
