Killer co-pilot Andreas Lubitz was signed off by two different doctors for the day of the Germanwings disaster but failed to tell his employers, it has been reported.
The claims from German newspaper The Rheinische Post come after it emerged Lubitz may have crashed his plane due to fears he was about to lose his licence on medical grounds.

No electronic notification to the boss’s huh??!!!
Also, bought two Audis just weeks ago. One for GF and one for himslef:
Any idea why we haven’t seen photo of GF?
The airline is going to pay a lot for screwing this up big time.
It seems they knew far more than they originally let on.
AIDS?
Sick, Mental illness, Physical illness, or BOTH????
YAH_VOLT
Doesn’t sound like it.
I’d guess schizophrenia or something like that. He had to have some sort of real psychosis to kill 150 people without a care.
And, it had been going on [the “medical/mental” probalem for at least 2 years!
This just makes me sick. I can’t imagine the terror of being on that plane knowing you’re flying to your death and the captain can’t do anything to stop it.
...”No electronic notification to the boss’s huh??!!!...
HIPPA law wouldn’t allow????
I think he was suffering mental illness. He was having trouble coping ... burnout.
But he killed a lot of people without a huge problem.
Sorry. We are not talking about the US.
The airline would pay the maximum. The sirline should have grounded him a year or two earlier.
Notice, they aren’t talking a lot now.
That was my first thought also.
Random drug test reports are sent to employers, and I would have expected the airlines to have a policy of being notified about a changed condition in a person's medical health whether physical of mental, or if he had been arrested, and why.
Looks like more regulations coming for the airlines. -Tom
with just a slight twist.
The grounding was for physical reasons only, but it affected him mentally. He did not know what else to do with himself and couldn't seem to pull himself out of the spiral. He began acting very strangely and doing things that ensured that he would never be able to fly again (got arrested for drunk driving, etc.), while at the same time completely freaking out that he would never be able to fly again. He ended up committing suicide. It was a very sad situation.
He did not take 149 people with him, however.
Great point.
Here such notification would be a HIPPA violation.
30% or better chance:
Upset over gay lover spat.
Couldn’t function on the job.
Loss of license imminent.
Decided to teach the world a lesson.
“Lubitz may have crashed his plane due to fears he was about to lose his licence on medical grounds. “
Yea, that is lots worse than murdering 150 people.
