This is just a question of pure curiosity but in an incident like this, is her career totaled? I mean will this captain ever fly anything for hire again?

It seems like a no answer for obvious reasons but sometimes things aren't so obvious, I guess.

In the past, there have been some "fly by night" operators, particularly cargo, that had a reputation for hiring pilots with "stained" reputations. The reason being that those pilots were likely to stick around despite substandard pay and working conditions.

Not a lot of those places left, and this case is pretty high profile. I'm guessing not going to be in the controls of a big jet again.
