Sure.
One airline lets a whack job fly and he crashes the plane into the side of a mountain, but this guy needs to keep his job..
Damn, I shouldn’t have retired. I was an engineer, but dammit, I’m afraid of numbers. And steel. And combustion. And mechanisms (they can eat you alive).
I could have retired 30 years ago!
Well, personally I would not like to be as scared as I am when flying and the find out the pilot comes back to me and starts holding my hand and crying...
My kids claim they are afraid of the lawn mower, dishwasher, vacuum cleaner, washing machine, broom.....
Fake News title. It was long flights causing him problems, not flying.
The longer routes are the most desired by pilots, so I wouldn’t think it would be a problem to accommodate him.
Pilots frequently read books and work crossword puzzles during flights?
Four hour flight bothered him, eh?
Wanna bet it’s about length of workday, not flying fear?
The airline doesn’t have time to keep holding his hand during panic attacks. They need somebody ready to go.
If you are too nervous, or too worn out, this flight is not for you, plain and simple. It’s for everyone’s safety.
Heck, put him on anti-anxiety meds, give him his job back, let him fly the plane into a mountain...all the time screaming “It’s Trump’s fault!”.
If you are afraid to fly why train to be a pilot?
Why is the theme music from Monty Python’s Flying Circus firing-up in my head?
Next up, you can’t discriminate against doctors who won’t deal with blood.
Hey what a scam- I want to apply for a $1 million per year professorship (and don’t you dare require i go through schooling to get a degree- that would be unfair), but don’t want to work because “I’m afraid of teaching”
So will this ‘tribunal’ be the first ones to be his passenger?? I’d make them fly on the one he pilots.
So dose him heavily with Xanax!
What's the problem?
