Agreed James Ozzie, in my 25+years of working in human factors for the union (ALPA) there has been a shift of attitudes with regards to self harm, one pilot I really enjoyed flying with, put a shotgun to himself rather than exposing himself to hurting others, but nowdays, I may be wrong.
Andreas Lubitz said his name would be noticed or remembered, if he decided to destroy himself and others. Maybe that's a generational thing I have no idea. Either way a very sad state of affairs.
