Right, one more ****ing post about who said what and I'm deleting every mention of it.

Breaking news, the co-pilot was suffering from depression and had been for some time, if the airline knew, they're in serious bother.

Why? Who made you God of the messageboard? If someone is being a prick when having a go at someone else for something they started then how is that meant to be ignored? You cant just have content on here that you like, or shall we rename you OriginAllambrettaman?
 
If you look back I said " terrible news! I can't imagine a worse way to die! " what was the problem with that???

Just terrible news would have sufficed. Why bring your opinions on where it stands on the list of worse ways to die into it? And, having dines so,get upset if someone has a different opinion on it?
Normally ?Hat is a WUM who I wouldn't defend but in this instance said nothing wrong.

I wonder if his depression was linked to him stopping his training before he then resumed it and qualified in 2013?

As you say, if they knew he suffered from depression, they could have some real explaining to do.

Why? It's not as if there's loads of parallels with similar incidents to a depressed pilot ploughing a passenger jet into a mountain side on the spur of it like.

****e attempt at trying to come back at me mate, as an Airline allowing a man known to suffer from depression behind the stick of a passenger aircraft with a protocol that allowed him to be the sole cockpit crew member takes some explaining without any previous precent, you ****ing flute. <laugh>

Not as ****e as this load of cobblers -

"The issue was a fault with one of the landing gear covers, but it was a noise issue not a safety one. It's a red herring that I reckon.

My guess is a cockpit depressurisation - a window blowng or similar and the pilot started to put the plane into a downward path, but only got the thing to a semi sensible descent rate before losing consciousness and the plane merely continued it's descent.

I hope that's how it happened as at least they wouldn't have know much about it in the cabin 30 seconds max."

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and confirm it and all that...

There was a clue in the word GUESS, a GUESS that was shared by many in the actual profession and was even shared with the family of the lad from Hull as the probably cause - as confirmed by OLM this morning.

So it's better to pipe the **** down rather than make a **** of yourself trying to be clever petal.
 
anyhow back on topic bitches..

150 died?

all cos the copilot was depressed?
so now he is a mass murderer?
he should have done the responsible thing and just took his own life.
depression is a mental disability/mental illness - it can make you do things that you wouldn't normally do.
unfortunately it is very difficult to spot, it is a bit more than just saying "I'm having a **** day"

It's beyond belief isn't it. A selfish act from the pilot, suicidal fine, but taking an entire plane load with you?

The poor families.

it is certainly very shocking.
Airlines might now implement some sort of mandatory counselling program where pilots can go to talk, if they have a problem.
With every airline disaster, flying gets safer and safer.

They'll certainly make it a legal requirement to have 2 crew in the cockpit at all times.

You speak as if the pilot was thinking straight.

Considering your pathetic comment earlier, it's clear you have absolutely zero understanding or experience about the illness.

And before you come out with some ****e about defending the pilots actions, I'm not, just stating the fact that depression isn't as black and white as you seem to think. It really ****s with people's heads.

There's already things in place to stop this happening, I watched the Lufthansa CEOs press conference at lunchtime and it seems there was no attempt to use the cockpit door lock override, as you would expect to happen in an event like this.

what they should do, is give the pilots a key-card that can override the locking mechanism.
(it is a wonder that they haven't thought of that in-case a terrorist gains control of the cockpit and locks them out.)

they have a lock override?
I expect that the pilot, that was locked out was panicking too much to use it.
