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.

The problem with depression is its a very hard condition for a doctor to catch or for a sufferer to seek help.

If they bring in measures to stop pilots from working it could have adverse consequences, pilots are less likely to seek help knowing they'll lose their job.

It's a really tough condition to battle from either side.

yeah.
Mental Illness it has a stigma attached to it - fortunately it is getting talked about more and more.
Everyone gets down but fortunately not many of us experience real depression.

He's trained for stuff like this, if the plane was hurtling towards a mountain and he was trying to get into the cockpit, you'd think he'd remember he's got a key.

So what, both pilots are suspected of being in on it? There was obviously some problem with the over ride, I can't imagine the main pilot spending 10 minutes banging on the door for show for the black box.

maybe he didn't notice till it was too late, and the pilot and copilot struggled for control of the airplane.

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

The override is actually in the cockpit. It's a simple on/off switch which the co-pilot flicked to stop the pilot re-entering the cockpit! Theyve spent all this time keeping people out since 9/11 that they haven't allowed for people locking themselves in. The pilot wouldn't have a key! For the reasons that a terrorist could take it off him!

they should have a keypad on the outside of the door, which only the pilots have the combination for.

I'm afraid that all wrong, just watch the video above to see what actually happens.
