Bumping this fact up, rather than letting it be buried in favor to a scare claim.

If you are referring to the post about the co-pilot converting to Islam, that post has been removed.

Well....we'll have to see what turns up.....I believe depression/anger/anxiety was atleast a secondary factor/diagnosis...one doesn't crash a plane into a mountain because of diabetes....

" Not suffering from depression"...

This is from USA Today

Bild reported that on several occasions his training at Lufthansa's flight school in Phoenix, Ariz., was interrupted for mental health reasons after he had a "serious depressive episode." The German tabloid reported that Lubitz may even have undergone treatment after being what it called "demoted" several times during his training in the United States

Depression untreated can become psychosis.

Pilots with diabetes that requires insulin cannot fly commercial airlines in the US. However they can get a medical certificate that would allow them to fly private and recreational operations.

Has it been speculated that one of his illnesses was diabetes?

Sydney - no. I was just saying that one doesn't crash into a mountain because of erectile dysfunction, etc....there's gotta be an emotional component.....

Got it, the story is moving soo quickly I thought I missed it. I assume they are talking to his parents at this point, may be they can shed some light on this clearly disturbed individual.
