While it is somewhat disturbing that an incident happened in the cockpit, it's hardly the first time.
To me, it is somewhat of a confidence booster that the pilot apparently recognize the symptoms and acted in a way that diffused the problem without making things worse.
It tells me that the policy in place that the pilot executed worked, at least this time.
The passengers, crew and aircraft suffered no injury. IMO, that's a blessing.

"Crew dragged co-pilot off jet at Shannon after mid-air scare"
This is one of the more bizarre stories I've read.
AC848 YYZ-LHR
"MORE than a hundred passengers aboard an Air Canada flight from Toronto to London were forced to divert to Shannon yesterday after the co-pilot suffered what appeared to be a nervous breakdown in mid-air."

Thank God that they were able to catch this over Ireland, and not over the Atlantic. This story could have progressed very differently, and it's truly great that we are not commenting 'RIP'. Anyway, I have to ask - for the pilots on here - I know that things are stressfull, but how do you guys deal with the stressors at work? Also, if you see that a collegue is dealing with alot of stress (so much so that it can incapicitate him/her) what can be done to help them? Are there anonymous repoting systems?Whatever is necessary, is never unwise.

We accept engine failures as a fact of life but fail to give the same consideration to the human element. In this case the redundant "Human Element" occupying the cockpit corrected the problem. The system worked this time.
I lost a fine flight crew because the capt (pilot flying) suffered a heart attack on short final, the redundant "Human Element" didn't notice it in time, all died.Don
Standard practice for managers around the world:
Ready - Fire - Aim! DAMN! Missed again!

Was not the first in this position, and won't be the last.
Just one among many. Decades ago, a KLM DC.8 captain passed while the aircraft was on finals to Haneda. Safe landing was performed by the F/O.
