Default Mentally unstable airline pilot forcibly removed from flight deck

No such announcement was made to the pax. From the actual report:
"Prior to descent, the Commander asked the Incharge Flight Attendant
to go the Passenger Information List (PIL) to see if there were any
flight crew on board who might be available to assist on the Flight
deck for the remainder of the flight. In the event no line pilots were
on board, but one of the Cabin attendants held a Commercial Pilot’s
Licence, with a Multi-engine Rating, and a non-current Instrument
Rating. The Commander requested that the Flight Attendant occupy the
right-hand (First Officers) seat for the remainder of the flight to
assist as necessary."

What an excellent report. Well written, and easy to read and
understand.

It sounds to me that the Captain did as well as anyone could possibly
do, for the difficult situation that was taking place. I can not
imagine anyone could have done better, and the flight attendant that
stepped in for the FO did pretty darn well, too.

When the **** hits the fan, the training and level headed response
displayed is what was called for, and was given. I can't imagine a
psycho simmer could have contributed, in any positive way.


Can't imagine you contributing in any positive way either.

just a constsant stream of irrelevant BS..
