Just kidding, hope everyone is all right.

Hope the F/O is doing well.

Thankfully we can rule one thing out - The cause wasn't a crew meal

The airbus was sitting at the gate while I was there doing a Phl turn. The rumor around D concourse was that the FO had a seizure shortly after takeoff from phl..... we left 'all together on time...' before we could find out anything else.

seizures aren't good. I'd imagine if true that he has flown his last trip.

Indeed it is serious. My hope is that with proper medical help it will turn out to be a one time event. I would hate to see one strike and your out for him and his family sake. At any rate I wish him/her the best and that either way it works out for the best.

Given the likely age of this F/O based on the average age of all USAirways pilots, he has likely flown his last trip.

By the time he gets through jumping through the FAA hoops to regain his medical, it will be retirement time. I also hope it was a one-time occurrence and that he regains his health quickly and permanently. Proving that to the FAA will take years, though.

It is hard to get a drivers license back after a seizure...the FAA isn'tthe only tough one.

F/O is a good guy and is only 48 years old. He has a small brain tumor and is awaiting results of tests to see what kind of tumor it is and what course of action will be taken to remove the tumor. All of us should be thankful to have our health. This unfortunate event just goes to show how quickly life can change.

Everyone should put him in their prayers.
