JetBlue Emergency Landing

I can see it now, some knee jerk Senators ( McCain) now will demand that all commercial pilots pass an annual evaul by a shrink...........

I think I'd be okay with that. I've flown with a few who probably wouldn't pass a psych eval. Maybe they should throw in a lie detector too and question them about drugs and alcoholism. There's nothing like flying with a guy and later finding out he was still drunk from drinking alone in his hotel room the night before.

is he passed out in that pic on the straight back?

A few airlines back I flew with a guy who used to get kind of batty when he didn't eat - something like low blood sugar.

Kind of like this guy?

So what your saying is that you've flown with pilots that were drunk! Nice!! You might wanna hold off on all those test there trigger!

I guess he never got over Macho Grande. Striker was the squadron leader. He brought us in real low. Bu he couldn't handle it.

Buddy couldn't handle it?

Just a correction....and an FYI. LTD is to age 65 UNLESS its due to a mental illness or mental issue.

Wow. Just when I didn't think this place could get much lower. I had no idea about that "gotcha".

and yes. If B6 pulls the workman's comp card, he is screwed.

Whatever the deal is with this captain, I feel bad for him. I'm sure dealing with whatever's going on in his head is not something anyone would want to go through.

That's exactly what would happen here in China if this happened here. Some Chinese captain keeled over last year in the cockpit from some brain issue, now we all get CAT scans added to our medicals.

It was Striker who couldn't handle it, and he went to pieces.
