the faa's response was completely irrational. i'm not sure anyone can explain why they took the action they did. pilots predicted at that time there would be attempted cockpit takeovers, more and more. captain victor sarosini predicted to his wife, there will be attempted cockpit takeovers because of this. he died on september 11, 2001, when his boeing 767 was flown into the south tower of the world trade center. the other important element of this thing to mention is up through august of 2001, the regulation in the federal aviation regulations under which we all operate, the regulation existed that allowed pilots to be armed. there was a provision that would allow an airline if they chose to go through a process to arm their pilots. no airline did. i think, frankly, it was kind of an anti-gun sentiment that existed. that regulation kind of disappeared in a horrible coincidence and irony and disappeared in august. not that it was being used, but it at least existed, then september 11, 2001, of course we had the attacks and shortl

the faa requires a full medical exam every six months for pilots over the age of 40. a variety of mental health conditions will usually disqualify a pilot from flying. among them, certain anxieties, bipolar or personality disorders and psychosis. in 2010, the faa announced it will allow pilots to fly while on certain nonsedating mental health medications. but a chicago doctor who qualifies pilots for flight says it could be something else. >> there are certain medical conditions which can certainly result in a rapid deterioration of a person's stability. a drop in blood sugar, for example, can do that. >> reporter: we know clayton osbon has been flying nearly 25 years. since 2000 he's worked at jetblue as a flight standards capital on the airbus a320. jetblu's ceo said he's always been a consummate professional. >> i've known the captain personally for a long period of time. there's been no indication of this in the past. >> that was nbc's tom costello reporting. the pilot has been suspended. he could face 20 years in prison if convicted of interfere with that flight.
