None of us take joy in seeing a professional peer embarrass and hang themselves and their careers in front of pax and fellow crew members. It's unfortunate and not a fun trainwreck to watch.

Um......no. We're not electricians or chefs or even teachers that can go off the deep end and after some work with the shrink slip right back to our job. Doesn't work that way in this line of work. Nor should it.
