Quick comments ; on the suicide hypothesis, nothing concrete so far, so let's give it a bit of time until the CVR analysis either confirms or infirm that. Would it be only out of respect for the pilots and the victims families.

FWRWATPLX2 :
Andreas Lubitz, (GermanWings) passed the DLR, which has a high failure rate.
Andreas Lubitz was a highly intelligent young man who knew all the answers to give and which box to tick before joining, he became later totally obsessed with losing his licence, and flying was his only passion and that drove him totally outside the edge. The very sad thing is that everyone around him knew he had lost it, his girl friend, his parents , his brother , his psychiatrist and most of the dozen of doctors he consulted in the 6 months before his act. Sadly none of them could prevent him for reporting sick , even less in quitting the job. . This loophole is still there , in Germany at least .Mental illness is a huge issue and many companies do not know how to deal with it.
