I’m going to be the first person to say this, but maybe he is a Muslim extremist? We’d have to wait for the report to see if he was shouting alluh akbar or whatever it is they say.
While a mental breakdown is possible, I would not be so quick to rule out terrorism by an extremist who just happens to be white.

Having a third highly-vetted, highly-trained person in the flight deck enhances safety and security, not the other way around.

An off-duty Alaska Airlines pilot taking a ride Sunday in the jump seat of a flight out of Everett attempted to shut down the engines inflight and had to be subdued, the pilot is heard saying in a recording of the exchange with air traffic controllers.
Horizon Air flight 2059 from Everett to San Francisco diverted to Portland where it landed safely, and the Alaska Airlines pilot was arrested.

You don't have to be Arab or Muslim to sympathize with Hamas, et al, but even that seems far fetched.

Pretty telling that the last two major security issues have both been with air group employees snapping suddenly.. this one and the dude who stole the plane… hmmm wonder what about alaska air group makes people flip their switch. Could be the repetitive beatings into submission style of management that Angle lake enjoys
