Seems to have been buried and not publicized very much.

One of the better comments I read over on the other website mentions that there was a time that all pilots had some sort of military training and they were stress tested and now there not as many of the pilots with military backgrounds and we see a stress episode such as losing your girlfriend or Trump winning an election being enough to trigger a career ending melt down.

That cuts both ways. Lots of former military people had trouble with the concept of CRM. They were used to calling the shots themselves in the military. You must work as a crew at an airline. We are much safer these days than the era of "Sky Gods" that we saw in the early days.
