Yes, after a short period of time he could barely hold a thought long enough to complete a sentence, so it's tough to tell. Seems to me he's just someone who believes he's simply been pushed too far and "lost it". It does go to show how much stress the employees of this airline are under. The recent F/A breakdown was likely another example, at least in part due to the present situation. One has to ask just how far the psychological envelope is being pushed here and if there will be more meltdowns. Additionally, one really has to wonder that if the economic desires that are being demanded be realized, just what foundation remains in the future to re-build what AA has lost (actually given away) ?
Clearly though, the airline has an obligation to have this person evaluated for anger management, alcohol/drug issues and overall state of psychological well-being. Considering his position involves safety and human lives, it would be irresponsible for a company to be aware of this video and not take appropriate action. Godspeed to him.
