From the last few posts, perhaps with the exception of Pace, the response to the concerned SLF who pay your wages was: "there is no way of preventing this problem, all methods make things slightly worse - so nothing to see here - move along".
Unfortunately, there is something to see here. This incident and the recent ones linked to here
ASN News » List of aircraft accidents caused by pilot suicide and probably MH370, all seem to have been instigated by pilots left alone in the cockpit. This worries your SLF paymasters. The response to their worry? Well if a pilot wanted to kill themselves and all the pax they could do it simply by [several other ways] - this is meant to calm their concerns?
There really needs to be some hard thought given to this. By far the best is the suggestion that pilots suffering from mental health issues will be supported and _not_ lose income if they then fail medicals, in the same way as other medical issues. This would not be perfect, but at least it would remove the dicincentive to report mental health problems. It would also show something positive was being done. Up until then a CC 'door monitor' seems to be a good suggestion.
This incident will slowly drop out of the headlines over the next weeks, it will then reappear with a lot more noise and considered media documentaries when the BEA produce their reports. The industry had better be speaking with one voice on something positive and productive by then as that positive note can be put into those documentaries. However, what I expect is the equivalent of patting the SLF on the head and saying "
don't worry your empty little heads about things you don't understand". That would be completely the incorrect approach for the industry to take and it would probably find itself facing poorly thought out mandates as 'they are doing nothing'.
