Meltdown on the Air

So it finally happened, a pilot had an spectacular breakdown in mid air. It took many people to restrain him because he was completely out of it and yelling incoherencies. It must have been terrifying to be on that JetBlue plane and be witness to such a sad, frightening event. My guess is that he was under tremendous pressure for a long time and he finally snapped. He might have been holding it in till he couldn't hold it anymore. He obviously needs help and JetBlue should first investigate the real cause of his breakdown before proceeding to file charges against him. Let's not forget that pilots are only human and with the monster hours most of them are forced to put, I'm surprised we don't get more tragic incidents such as this. My thoughts and prayers are with him.
