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.

I know that so far they have not uncovered anything that connects him to Islam, but I can’t shake the feeling that he is connected. I don’t believe anyone involved with radical Islam is sane. My worry is that they may cover it up. Anytime White House Officials have rushed to the microphone to say something is not terrorism, they’ve been lying.
Yeah, it’s almost [these days] like people are afraid to “die alone” and want to take others with them ...
Sick!
Let’s see what the investigation leads to.
Diagnostic clarification?
Was the Airline notified at the time?
Example -he is a manic/depressive. You better make sure. He is...now what?
If it was something that could get him kicked off of being a pilot the airline should have been notified.
There is a article linked on Drudge that says the FAA doesn’t allow pilots to fly while taking anti depressants. Don’t know if true.
What about anti psychotic medicine???
Europe is probably more lax.
Sports teams random testing: The airlines could follow the lead of many sports teams that conduct random drug testing of their players.
I agree.
And he did not appear to have a great amount of self esteem that you would think he might have. Like he was “living a lie” knowing he would eventually be grounded.
And, he also was physically slight. Does that have anything to do with it?
One of the crew could have called him Tomato Andy and it set him off and he took them all down.
I can only tell you how SHOCKED I am at many, many stories in recent years about plane crashes by PILOTS WHO DON’T KNOW HOW TO FLY A PLANE!!!
btw, that was a joke tweet...
Too soon?
This crime of killing 150 totally innocent people, who never caused any harm to the insane pilot, will go down in history as the most senseless mass murder ever.
Something like this should never be allowed to happen!
I could see where someone with Schizophrenia could do something like this.
A paranoid schizophrenic on meds.
That is the classic shoot up a movie theater/school type of guy here in the US.
It boggles the mind as to how Lufthansa could have been unaware...If I had their stock, I would be selling it right now.
Not depression, according to the hospital.
“The person familiar with the case said Mr. Lubitz was undergoing treatment for depression elsewhere in the Rhineland area of western Germany. “
So depression elsewhere...
So what then? Cancer, AIDS, who knows...it’s all a mystery for right now.
Many years ago I watched a documentary on designing military fighter aircraft.
They realized they could make the planes do incredible things but doubted a pilot would be up to the task of doing some maneuvers that were not intuitive.
Then they realized a computer could do it, so they figured out how to train a pilot to control the computer.
It looks like that has crept into commercial flying, so a computer can make Commercial planes go through maneuvers that would not upset the passengers, like rolls, hard turns or deep dives or a combination of those. - Tom
He also may have wanted to hurt Lufthansa, if he felt they were going to pull his license.
