After listening I now feel so horrible for her. I hope she gets the help she needs.

Our local news (DFW) reported this evening that she is bi-polar and hadn’t taken her medication.

I really feel sorry for her for having such a medical condition. That said, I don’t think that she should be employed in a position that requires critical thinking and calmness in the event of an emergency. Let’s put it this way, I wouldn’t want to trust her with my life.

Nothing better than a flight attendant in psychatric care and having a mental meltdown in a flight. Flight attendants have the highest stress jobs. They have to deal with drunk,unruly passengers and other horrors on a daily basis. I think that they should be checked out the same way pilots are cleared to fly.

I wonder how many flight attendants that on a verge of a mental meltdown up there right now

saying over the aircraft intercom system that the plane was going to crash

If I'm a passenger, there's no way on God's green earth I stay on that plane. Who knows what kind of psychic connection to the future this, uh, psycho might have? Wouldn't chance it..

Well, they are all gay or women, so ALL OF THEM! <./Bill Mahar sick humor>

Perhaps this particular demon suffered from a fear of flying, and suddenly realized that he chose poorly.

LOL...I need a new keyboard....coffee all over it
