Do we want, as an industry, another Germanwings?

If an airline elects to use sickness (and that includes mental health) as a determiner for redundancy, then from that point forwards pilots will fear going sick and will tend not to when they should have done. Anyone here who thinks it is in any way acceptable to use sickness for redundancy is inviting another Germanwings, or one of these:

Non-pilots here, please have a think about this. It's a step backwards of 30 years plus.
