Qantas Pilot Allowed to Fly Despite Urges to Crash Jets

A Qantas pilot suffering from a mental illness was allowed to keep flying for three years despite complaining of his urges to crash his planes.

Bryan Arthur Griffin worked as a pilot with Qantas from 1966 to 1982, when he resigned suffering from severe obsessive compulsive disorder, depression and anxiety.

Griffin struggled to resist an overwhelming urge to switch off his plane’s engines on several occasions between 1979 and 1982, evidence tendered as part of a worker’s compensation claim stated.

Qantas had failed to understand his serious psychiatric problem and he should have been medically retired, a report from Griffin’s psychiatrist said.

No, not really a good analogy. The pilot struggled against his urge. The Democrats indulge their urge at every opportunity. They’re in a tailspin and taking us with them.

    Qantas never crashed but it looks like they came close.
