Interesting “incident” that probably needs some root cause analysis.

It seems an Air Canada flight was diverted to Shannon when one of the pilots “went nuts” and had to be restrained. The pilot was taken to a hospital in Ireland for treatment.

An Air Canada spokeswoman said:

“At no time was safety compromised.”

Neat. I guess pilots aren’t really that important to modern day air transportation!
