NTSB thinks its suicide
Cochise,
In both the Silk Air and Egypt Air cases the NTSB thinks that all the evidence points to mass murder/Suicide
i wonder if a recomendation for regular psychiatric screening of pilots could prevent this kind of thing happening in the future.
As an interesting footnote,i belive a singapore pilot committed suicide due to financial stress a few months back.He was man enough not to take a planeload of people with him.
i dont wish to sound judgemental,put airlines need to detect and provide psychiatric help to those of their pilots who need it(including alcoholics).
