That's not my job - I simply raise it as a concern (I was involved in the 'better aircraft, better engines" camp).
That being said, pilot suicide is a problem - there have been at least a dozen air disasters over the last 30 years where pilot suicide is listed as a probable cause (Germanwings being an exception in there is no doubt it was pilot suicide). And the steps taken since the Germanwings disaster are basically window dressing of dubious value.
