OTTAWA, June 23 (Reuters) - One of the pilots flying an Air Canada jet airliner became incapacitated during a domestic flight but the plane landed safely after an off-duty pilot stepped in to help, authorities said on Friday. The Transportation Safety Board (TSB) said the incident occurred on June 7 during a 2,115 km (1,300 mile) flight to St John's in the Atlantic province of Newfoundland from Toronto. A deadheading captain assumed the crew member's duties and landed the aircraft without further incident," the TSB said in an emailed statement. A deadheading pilot is one who is flying commercially on their way to a new assignment. According to Air Canada's website, the carrier generally operates the flight with an Airbus A-220 twin-engine airliner, which can carry around 140 passengers.

John Fetterman's doctor said the candidate "is recovering well from his stroke," in an updated medical report. The Oz campaign had been urging Fetterman to release new medical records. Fetterman, who suffered from a stroke in May, has come under attack by his Republican opponent Mehmet Oz in recent weeks over his health. Last month, Oz released his own medical report after an annual checkup, in which his doctor stated he was in "excellent health." Fetterman's doctor said while the lieutenant governor "continues to exhibit symptoms of an auditory processing disorder" he "spoke intelligently without cognitive deficits" in his check-up.

John Fetterman "has no work restrictions and can work full duty in public office" as the Democratic Senate candidate recovers from a debilitating stroke, his primary care physician said. Fetterman suffered the stroke in May, just before winning the Democratic nomination to compete for Toomey's seat. The stroke took Fetterman off the campaign trail for three months. Chen's evaluation of Fetterman "must be crushing news for Oz, who has been rooting against John's recovery and staked his entire campaign on it," top Fetterman campaign aide Rebecca Katz said in a statement. He has no work restrictions and can work full duty in public office," Chen said.

☆ Fear and loathing on Wall Street: Inside the paranoid, hyper-competitive onslaught to prevent quant traders from defecting to rivals

Current and former employees at prominent quant trading operations spoke to Insider anonymously for this story, citing fear of legal reprisals. "At the NSA, the penalty for leaking is twenty-five years in prison," Simons liked to tell employees, according to Gregory Zuckerman's book "The Man Who Solved the Market." In the early 2000s, quant noncompetes were narrower and shorter — six to nine months was industry standard, quant recruiters who had to navigate these obstacles told Insider. But it has aggressively pursued employees it believes have crossed the firm, according to court filings and media reports. Absent such changes, quant noncompetes will likely continue to proliferate with little resistance from employees.
