[waveflyer]

Overheard on our way to MDW. Prayers for the RJ FO who was unconscious. Hope they are alright. From over the radios, the captain did a nice job handling a lot single pilot. If anyone has an update, please keep us up.

Oh man, that sux. I knew a female pilot that passed out on a flight and last I heard she STILL hasn't obtained a medical certificate. She was trying for at least two plus years before she finally resigned from the company. Glad he is alive though.

Yup...his airline career is over, but he's alive. Hope he purchased the Loss Of License Insurance. Enjoy the early retirement.

Not so, We had quite a few that lost their medical that went into the training department at the commuter I previously worked for! Let's see, home every night and make more money!

Either way, Glad he is OK and hope he has a speedy diagnosis and recovery.
