The risk to passengers of suicide by pilot will remain until the pilot no longer has the means to kill himself and others while in control of the airplane. If there was any other way
out of this we would have done it by now.
There are different ways of ending ones life....in 35 years of being in the major airlines and working in human factors for the union for 16 years, all have either overdosed, "drowned while scuba diving" or blown their heads off sparing any innocent lives. Where's there a will there's a way. Possibly in this day and age people like Andreas Lubitz were looking for an audience as he remarked to his girlfriend as to how his name would be famous.
Either way a very sad state of affairs.
