... suicidal tendencies ... no clue to any motive.

A mystery indeed.
I can almost feel there is an answer here somewhere but I can't quite put my finger on it.

This is an example of big government at work. Privacy laws can not be one size fits all. My understanding is that the doctors were not permitted to notify the airline of health conditions detrimental to public safety.

I don’t know why the ex girlfriend didn’t go to his employer with what she saw and what she knew.

Even if she did it anonymously... she certainly knew enough to be concerned.

Those people didn’t deserve that.

There are going to be any number of reasons they’ll pawn off on us. He was suicidal because his girl friend dumped him is as good as any I suppose. Would be really difficult to explain that a new Muslim convert was piloting the plane and he crashed it into the mountains, on purpose, killing a plane full of people. Any excuse would be better than that one.

Is there any actual evidence that the guy was a "new Muslim convert"?

Luftansa would not be punished for employing a Moslem. They will be punished for retaining a psycho-lunatic-medicated mass murderer. Any Islamic evidence would relieve them of guilt for 149 incent dead.
