Actually, 10-15%, and as many as 25%, of Americans are mentally ill to varying degrees, myself included. So it's not surprising that airlines hire mentally ill people. To do otherwise could possibly run amuck of the ADA. We are everywhere.

Mental illness is no different than having a physical illness, like cancer or asthma. The Mental Health Parity Act ensures that mental illnesses are treated on par with physical ones for health insurance purposes.

Also, I read a comment that the passenger was asking for donuts, and the FA thought he meant cops, since donuts is slang for cops. haha!
