She's unlikely to pass another FAA medical. https://www.faa.gov/news/fact_sheets...m?newsId=20455
"Certain medical conditions such as a psychosis, bipolar disorder and severe personality disorder automatically disqualify a pilot from obtaining an FAA medical certificate and prohibit them from flying."
Even if she was able to get an FAA medical, the insurance and PR issues would likely be too great to allow her to operate another commercial aircraft.

I have more of a clue, knowledge and insight than you assume. And further so what about it? The safety aspect alone demands more of our profession and for the company. I don't think a slap on the wrist or a couple of sessions with the shrink is going to fix some very deep emotional problems here. Not even going to speculate on the liability issues that would follow.
I only mentioned the FFD box as a point of fact that will be used and looked at. You're delusional if you think the lawyers won't pounce on that alone.
You have your opinion and I have mine. I don't want her near an airplane ever again.

You sure don't sound like you have a clue.
I have never said or alluded an opinion on whether or not she should be back in the cockpit again. Nice deflection.
I just calling BS on your blowhards pumping your chests about what she did on the video and trying to apply rational thinking to it.

I don't claim to know jacksquat about mental illness but I know it would be a PR nightmare if she were to fly for a commercial carrier in the future. Not going to happen. Just like the JetBlue pilot.

While it was a fast moving situation, it ended pretty darned quickly. I'm sure that plane wouldn't have moved an inch; if you look at the video, there's an FA on the flight deck so both the FAs and FO were not going to let the plane move.
