The International Air Transport Association told the BBC: "The aviation industry takes the issue of pilots' mental health very seriously and is open to well-thought-out ways to make any aviation system even more robust.
"The industry will continue to look closely at its procedures."
What a joke. Nobody cares. Not a single airline management, not the public and certainly not the various authorities involved. It's all about profits and cheap tickets.

As John-Something wrote on another thread here, T&Cs for airline captains will continue to be eroded and first officers will eventually all be some type of pay to fly. Max sectors, max hours, max profits and cheapest tickets. Everybody happy.
