An airline pilot who forced a UK-bound jet to divert after suffering an apparent nervous breakdown is being comforted by his wife in a psychiatric ward in Ireland.
Air Canada is investigating the disturbance which forced the captain to land the Boeing 767 aircraft, en route from Toronto to London, at Shannon Airport.
The co-pilot, who was met by medical personnel, remains in psychiatric care after claims he had to be restrained on board by fellow crew members. The airline said a second pilot has accompanied the man’s wife to be by his side in a hospital in Ennis, Co Clare.

“The airline said a second pilot has accompanied the man’s wife to be by his side in a hospital.”
Sounds like a mooselimb way for the wife to leave the home. With a male relative or trusted friend.
