Terrible, terrible accident. My thoughts are with all those affected

Might be time for some new rules for pilot-training, maintenance of the planes, and workloads now. The business is getting ever more marginal, and those costs needs to be saved somewhere. A little bending of the rules here and there, makes that possible.

I just read this on the airline's Facebook page too:
"The shocking statements of the French authorities are not aware recently, where it is reported that the co-pilot deliberately to brought the aircraft to crash. Our thoughts and prayers are still with all relatives and friends of the victims."

After this, I think all of the airlines in the world must set a news rule: Before every flights, every pilot and flight attendants must have their mantal checked

This is a big big tragedy.
My thoughts are with loved ones, relatives and friends of all those who have perished.

As a professional airline pilot myself, I can see how this would be an initial reaction of people who are shocked, but it would be an over-reaction and an unworkable situation. Imagine you would have to take such a test every single day yourself prior to starting your work day? And how would you create such a test that can taken every day and still remain reliable in the first place?

No, the fact is that everywhere people are involved there is this thing called the Human factor.
And fact is that tests remain a momentary evaluation, firstly, and secondly people with mental issues are experts at 'playing the system' taking advantage of gaps in tests, rules and procedures.
There is constant work to mitigate risks, especially in aviation. Be it technical or psychological, but there just isn't anything you can do against some nutjob tripping all of a sudden.
And such a 'daily mental check' will not change this and will only add cost, frustration and diminishing feeling of joy at their work for those affected.

It will be interesting to see reports about the co-pilot's life and well being as I suspect it is here we will find a story of drama.

And that is where we should focus: creating a world where we can aid those in mental need. Looking for signals that there might be something wrong in one's life.
Not create a false sense of safety by yet more rules and procedures.
