I haven't seen the interview at all. I do know the f/o (haven't seen him in years, though). The descriptions of the f/a in question meet the profile of a certain personality (type) that many of us have dealt with over the years. This generates many of the reactions you read here. It is certainly true that none of us were there and that there are alternate explanations for her behavior, but trust me when I say such comments / comparisons are unavoidable.

SPOT ON regarding your comment on pilots.
