Jetblue pilot

I just read that the distraught pilot is going to be sued. At the risk of sounding poly anna ; where is anyone’s compassion. This long term pilot was probably working harder than anyone and a target for everyone’s rath. What intolerable circumstances would make him crack like that. The same management that left people stranded all over America now have found a way to rob a person of their pension, dignity, and sanity.

I agree, this is petty. This fellow obviously had some kind of break down and is now getting the help he needs.

everybody sues for every reason these days.It certainly shows how our culture is selfish and unwilling to forgive. especially when someone sues for millions for a broken toenail. I sincerly hope this poor man is treated with compassion

When I first heard this story, one of the possibilities I thought of is that perhaps the pilot has a brain tumor. I’m not a doctor, but I thought maybe a brain tumor could cause a person to suddenly become irrational and agitated. I haven’t heard anyone else mention this as a possibility. Granted it might be less likely than that the pilot was just overly tired or had pre-existing mental illness or something, but it’s a thought. Apologies to any medical experts out there if my theory is way off base.
