It was suggested today that Lubitz - who had worked for Lufthansa as a cabin attendant for nearly a year before being accepted for flight training - may have been teased by other pilot's over his previous role.

A friend said: 'His nickname was "Tomato Andy

I wonder if the pilot and/or other flight crew had been riding him with the Tomato Andy thing. It might explain his extreme course of action - not suicide but murder of the crew.

That is what I am wondering...such as the Captain had been calling him Tomato Andy.

If he was already mentally ill...something like that could really effect him.

"The JetBlue flight attendant was pushed over the edge when a passenger started going for her luggage in the overhead bin the moment the flight’s wheels skittered on the tarmac at JFK. He warned her to sit down. She refused with an expletive as her bag hit him in the head. Slater demanded an apology. She refused. And then -- this is where it gets good -- Slater got on the public address system to say, "To the f*****g a**hole who told me to f*** off, it's been a good 28 years... I've had it. That's it.” He then grabbed his bags, a couple of beers, opened the emergency exit, slid down the ramp, ran across the tarmac to his car and drove home. He later was arrested on charges of “reckless endangerment,” “trespassing” and “criminal mischief.”
