Yup minimum sentencing is required in these cases. one year in prison Minimum more depending on how many people were disrupted. Lifetime ban and heavy fines that cannot ever be forgiven! It will only get worse if we do not treat this very severely!!

You realize the truck driver in Colorado who was sentenced to 110 years for causing an accident that killed 4 people and injured several had his sentence recently reduced to 10 years? He will probably be released after serving one or two of these years and yet you ascribe a draconian sentence of 150 years on an individual who may in fact be mentally unstable?
The sentence received by the truck driver was due to a law which leaves in the hands discretionary power to pronounce sentences for cases where multiple charges are applied, to be either served concurrently or consecutively.
The judge originally ruled consecutive sentences.
That has been reversed to be served concurrently.
Reason? The sentence was excessive and in my opinion opened the door to a constitutional challenge to Colorado sentencing law.
Now state wants the federal government sticking it's nose into it's business.
So, rather than die on that hill, the judge relented.
Again, speculating here

Hopefully mildly is the key term!
How about a mental evaluation to begin with followed if indicated by counseling and/or court ordered for a stay in a mental hospital. To imprison someone for basically 'flipping out' over the stress of air travel is cruel and unusual. Juries are going to find for the defense if they are charged criminally.
With half the country cuckoo for coacoa puffs over a variety of issues, such an idea would create the need for 50 million new psychiatrists
