This is a good reminder of both why they take you out of the cockpit forever if you so much as hint that you may have any sort of mental/emotional issue, and why we need better processes in place to solve the problems that lead pilots to that breaking point.

It shouldn't have gotten to the point where one wobbly Jenga brick in the stack kept 83+ people from dying that day.
