Don’t get in an argument in the cockpit with this guy. He seems handy with the crash axe.

Guy is an idiot, had he just added to his excuse of ‘I just hit my breaking point’…‘with my gender dysphoria and was trying to chop it off’ he’d be todays hero. Instead he’s your run of the mill United Captain boomer with headset issues.

I have to assume (and fervently hope) he never sees a UAL cockpit again…

Some guys want the water cannon, some want the local news at 6pm. Same result, last day of work.

Even assuming United wants him back in the cockpit he’ll need age 67 to go through to give the FAA time enough to get through the psych eval to restore his physical.

The HPI needs a couple more questions. In typical fashion, one that’s “safe”
to answer YES, one that could be a showstopper;

I believe it’s a good practice to be prepared for emergencies by carrying safety equipment in my vehicle.

10-15 questions later;

I like to use axes.



Cue the usual “you can’t say that!!! You should be hoping this guy gets the help he needs!!!!!”

we dont know what triggered him. he may have landed and his wife texted that she wants a divorce. mental health is still a mystery in many ways

I’m sure his preflight brief goes something like “I’m super chill and totally SOP…. Fly how you want”.

He must have gotten stuck behind one too many Amazon trucks over at landside. Too bad he'll never qualify for airside now...

The guy is in pretty good shape for 63.

It took him 23(!) swings lol.
Airbus no doubt.

whatever bro. This guy is my hero.

He had the balls to do what every single person who has ever had the misfortune of dealing with the Denver parking idiots wants to do every single time they have to interact with the lowest IQ mouth-breathing, window-licking, brainless government bureaucrats imaginable.

if he’s got a gofundme, I’m contributing to it.
