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.

This has got absolutely nothing to do with jumpseating. It could have easily been a working crewmember who flipped out (See Jetblue 191, Sunwings, etc)
This is about mental health and since the FAA has shown zero interest in pilot mental health in the past, I wouldn't expect a whole lot this time around

Gonna disagree with you on the JS though. Our overly hyper security for everything and everyone dot gov is going to nuke the JS. The press is going bonkers with this. The narrative I'm seeing is crazy pilot authorized to flight deck tried to kill 63 people.
Say good bye to jump seatting for awhile

Unfortunately this happened before with FedEx. That was a 3 pilot cockpit, and all pilots were so badly injured from the struggle that none ever flew again.
I want to be optimistic and believe this new incident won’t lead to any changes, but I doubt it. The FAA has nothing to lose by restricting the jump seat from pilots who are not operating the flight.

FAA has moved forward on mental health for pilots, not like the old days.

Ummmm No. Not happening. Do you realize the fallout from half the industry commuting then not being able to. The of delays and cancellations will be astounding. The govt does not want that!

As far as jumpseating going away for a while, slim chance. Air travel stops when pilots start exercising codified contract language.
