I think the flight deck is not the place to discover that the commanding officer is unfit to operate a flying vehicle. This poor soul was and maybe still is tortured over her personal situation and maybe more. We probably all recall at least one sloppy flight physical. I recall one in the 60s that consisted of a greeting by the medic, then a question, "how do ya feel" and finally "what color is that trash can over there"? It may have been ligitimate, but it seemed a bit casual to e at the time.
That's the big scare, who's up "front" and how well is the human unit responding to the unprogrammed situations?
