Was he Muslim - an ISIS sympathizer? Was he going for a nuclear facility? Did the three fighters France shot out after him drive him from his target?
He means video-gamer.
Apparently he has some fascinating hate-on with the millions of people who enjoy video games and do not commit violent acts.
the remaing 0.1 are either gay, gender confused, or liberal.
If that’s the case, this story will disappear quickly and the media will pretend it never happened.
Agree..... yet a simple two person policy , no lone zone aka flight attendant has to enter the flight deck an stay till either pilot or co-pilot returns or replaced by another attendant etc .. That is a quick an simple “fix” IMHO.....
'The intention was to destroy the plane.AHA. He was a global warming, carbon footprint dimwit.
Lemme get this straight- the pilot has a key to his car door so he can` lock himself out of his own car unless he`s stupid- but a pilot doesn`t have a key to his own cockpit door?
No airline industry can be this stupid. But they are.

In a week or two the real story will out. In the meantime let’s let CNN go all hysteric over this ....
Bringing back the 3rd (flight engineer) in the cockpit will cost the airlines money, so that won’t happen, unless they rig the system so taxpayers pay.
Maybe they could require that a steward or stewardess enter the cockpit when the pilot/co-pilot leave. Then there is always the ability to open the door if the remaining person is incapacitated.
The cynic and conspiracy theorist in me tells me that the fly by wire control systems are susceptible to modifications that could render pilot control inoperable. In other words the plane could be turned into a drone. If it not impossible, then it is possible. They are already discussing hacked drive by wire controls in cars.
I have not wanted to fly anywhere for years now. No desire at all, and this suits me just fine.
They’ll find what his motive was. My hunch is the guy had some deep seated mental issues fueled by severe anger.
By the end of the day, they’ll know what put him over the edge, IMO.
Narcissism - If he jumped in front of a train, in a week he’d be forgotten. By crashing an airplane, he will never be forgotten.
yes the 2 man rule is a good thing for a lot of applications.
The flight controls appear to be designed to prevent a “plummet”:

according to the news reports, it took 8 minutes to descend 32,000 feet before hitting the mountain. That’s a rate of 4,000ft/min. That’s a very steep decent. What I would like to know is at what speed would the plane break up in midair. The debris field looks too wide for a mountain impact.
Oh yeah, I know what he means.
I’m trying to figure out when a 28 year old professional pilot would have had time to be a gamer.
[s]But then I realize that, yeah, amidst this epidemic of people who play video games committing mass murder every time you turn around, he’s probably right ;/[/s]
If he was gay, the narrative will be that he was bullied or that his parents did not accept his gayness. In other words, this crash will be blamed on us.
A gamer????? really???? you mean ROP gamer?
