••• Germanwings plane crash co-pilot hid illness from employer •••

I also read that he had a recent breakup with a girlfriend which may have been his tipping point.

I just heard that authorities found a ripped-up letter which declared him 'unfit to work'. That was probably the same or related documentation that he got from the doctor.

Also, he was set to marry a woman either later this year or next year. She abruptly broke up with him because she just couldn't live with him anymore. Speculation (which is all we have at this point) is saying that this act of crashing the plane into the mountain was his final act of revenge. In other words, "If you're casting me aside and don't want to marry me, then I'll make sure you NEVER forgive yourself for what you did to me."

Very scary and sad...

Whatever his illness or reason, it will never undo what was done. I feel the fault/blame is his solely. He was a sicko and his girlfriend was lucky she left him.

I'd like to know if the doctor was convinced he should not be flying, was he under any obligation to let the airline know?

What kind of doctor wrote the note? Medical? Psych?

I think it was a shrink, supposedly he was under care for years?

Interesting.
