Lufthansa just announced that 5ft 5 overly made up girlie flight attendants must now take a place in the cockpit when one pilot needs to go for a slash in case the other pilot - 6ft bloke - is a suicidal nutter on a mission. Definitely only flying with them from now on.

..so in 2009 he was diagnosed with a “severe depressive episode”
You'd be amazed how many people in high stress jobs may have experienced severe depressive episodes. Can't go around sacking them all off, 1 in 5 people suffer from a severe depressive episode requiring medical intervention at least once in their life time. I'd be more worried about pilots who have 'alcohol problems', having been around AA as a kid my dad seemed to know an awful lot of pilots that only had names like 'Jim the Pilot'.

...meanwhile from now on they have to make immediate changes to two people to be able to adjust an airplanes direction and altitude, how stupid to be able to have one person doing such a thing! just a few extra buttons will sort it and no more of this s*** can happen....unless you get two of them wanting to fly into a mountain!

It's not a perfect measure, but likely better than not doing it.

Distance is a big power factor in the surrender of personal responsibility - We negotiate our responsibility for our actions in a social frame work of power relations they occur within.

An ex-gf of Lubitz has said he told her that one day everyone would know his name, which kind of backs up what I posted the other day about him perhaps wanting to be "somebody". [Link] I have another theory that his actions were a way of sticking two fingers up at the medics who signed him off, a way of saying something like "you think I'm mad? ok I'll show you how mad I am".

Thing is, why should it end his career because he had an episode in 2009. Wouldn't that just encourage people not to report it, or seek treatment. Shouldn't we, as a society, be more compassionate to people who are sick, and rather than punish them for being sick actively come togeather to support them. Surely the most that should ever happen is someone is given an extended sick leave, full pay, until they can resume or offered some form of retirement package. Its hard enough for people with mental health problems to get jobs, without sacking them when they do. As someone who suffers from clincial depression, the stigma in interviews and employment is such that generally your options are benefits, or don't tell. No doctor should be allowed to break patient confidentiality agreement, unless there is a clear and present risk to someone. Otherwise people will cease to seek treatement, and treatment becomes less effective as the patient will not be capable of confidence in confiding which would render treatment ineffective. Its a fact of life, people with health problems will be found in all walks of life. The question really should be, not how do we prevent them getting the jobs, but how do we prevent their suffering in the first place.

It's not a perfect measure, but likely better than not doing it. Wouldn't addressing the kinds of stress and fears that lead people to hiding their illness from employers and not taking their medication be a better approch. Because pilots are regularly drug and alcohol tested its almost certain that Lubnutz wasn't taking anti-depressants that were being prescribed to him, and consequently telling his doctors that he was (they'd show up in the drug test - so people often taking psychiatric meds won't take their pills because they'll end up out of a job). One thing, from personal experience, not taking my meds always goes badly.

Definitely only flying with them from now on. Preferable to effeminate flight attendant Gunther, who lives in a bijou little flat with Helmut, a minor TV executive and a small poodle called Fritz in the Poofenstrasse district of Wupperthal - and you know what those German lasses are like when you give them a uniform..I bet she will Irma Grese all over his sorry white arse Saw a bit of Sky news this morning and they are talking about identifying DNA 'strands' from victims - shorthand for there isn't a lot left to identify - grim isn't even close
