If you read through the numerous articles on the subject you will find he took something like six months off in either 2008 or 2009 for DEPRESSION - and was subsequently cleared as fit to fly. During the time off, he would certainly have been under the care of a professional, and probably prescribed medication.
You haven’t been given his entire medical history, so you can’t say he wasn’t seeing a psychiatrist.
And psychiatrists do PRESCRIBE.
Yes, this crime puts us into new territory. Holmes might also have been new territory. Flesh and blood robots possibly.
Maybe that's the issue right there. How can someone under the care of a psychiatrist become an airline pilot?
But I still don't believe that's the whole story.
Holmes might also have been new territory.
I depart with you there. Shooting sprees by "nutcases" is old territory. Meticulously calculated mass murder by certified Lufthansa pilots in the line of duty is new territory, unless it is in fact Jihad, which I vehemently suspect.
Reports this morning say “he was hiding a medical condition.”
