Quite right!
In the U.K. one assumes that he would be released into 'care in the community,' where he would fit right in. Do you suppose that he just picked the wrong country in which to go a bit ga-ga? How would you see this handled in the U.K.?
I assume that once he bounces around a bit inside our American justice system he will be judged 'not guilty by reason of insanity,' and sent off to some secure facility for a while. After all, if he really wanted to do great harm then he could simply have overpowered his FO and then crashed the aircraft. That has happened in the past.
It's really very sad, I think, for such a senior guy to lose it so completely. I hope we get some answers to how this could happen, when the best thing, not that it's really anything but terrible, would be to be told that there was some sort of physical reason for his breakdown.
