He is NOT a member of the general public as he is granted access to aircraft and airport operations that the general public does not and given his delusional statements he is , in my opinion, VERY dangerous with that access. The only thing that does not "add up" is why anyone would want this guy at the controls of an aircraft they were on. I am betting I have been on one of his 742's on one of my flights in the past and that is VERY unnerving.
Come now, avid. In the WCT article, he stated no less than twice that
his primary concern was with safety, suspicions of his sanity aside. I don't see any indication in any of his quotes that indicated he might do something "dangerous"; what exactly are you insinuating here? If his comments were truly insane (indicating that he's not alive, that some supreme being wants him to do something when flying, that he's being sent on a mission, etc.) there could be serious cause for concern. But instead, he only appears to be a believer of a homespun conspiracy theory. There are a lot of people who believe that, for instance, much of the 9/11 events "don't add up" and that the government and other authorities haven't been completely forthright about what they know. I don't think that qualifies someone to be categorized as "insane" and further, I'm not necessarily sure that should lead to the termination of one's employment. I think that's up to his union reps. and his employer to work out, frankly.
