Has the girlfriend/fiance story been verified? Can you imagine what her life must be like now? I bet there's reporters camped outside her front door.

I bet there are thousands of pilots out there fighting depression and they are probably very anxious about it now!

Video recorders must be implemented in the cockpits. I don't care what unions/agencies have to agree on it. Make it mandatory yesterday. When you have that kind of control over something that is capable of tremendous destruction and devastation, your rights to privacy are nonsense. You don't want to be on camera doing your job like so many other professions? You don't want to be a pilot. MO.

Lucky charm....I agree with you but the pilot unions are saying it's like agreeing to wiretapping. Maybe all planes should be flown remotely and that will put an end to that!

apparently his former girlfriend knew he had thoughts of crashing a plane, doing something "heinous."

If this is true, may be she didn't take him seriously.
