On Christmas Eve in 2016, what should have been a joyful occasion turned into a nightmarish ordeal for Pettit. Instead of receiving a holiday bonus or warm wishes, she discovered a letter from Delta Airlines that threatened to terminate her career. The letter informed her of a mental health evaluation conducted by a Delta-hired doctor, who deemed her unfit to fly, claiming she had bipolar disorder.
