More inclined to agree with daviee, I welcome the two in the cockpit rule but it basically comes down then to who in there takes who by surprise or is able to overpower the other. If someone is that determined to something so utterly horrific they'll think up a way.
I'd be wary of a knee-jerk reaction to slackening the cockpit door security because of this incident alone. At this stage although it's all pointing to depression / mental unbalance it would be a prospect extremists / terrorists would salivate over.
Changes to procedure and door systems should definitely be explored, remote unlocking / override etc. Distress mode activation from somewhere other than the cockpit perhaps.

Very sad and coward act indeed.
More psychometric tests may help but will not necessarily detect a psycho who acts as a serial killer/rapist. These people are clever enough to hide their thoughts and act normally.
And a different point of view (google translate it): https://www.facebook.com/Anonymous.K...type=1&theater

I read a report that also said the plane's auto pilot was placed into a "decent" mode.
Airbuses have a various autopilot modes as well as manual modes which allow for cruise, take off and decent (these planes can land on autopilot). So to adjust this control whilst at cruising altitude would be a specific and a deliberately intentioned act

They know this because the aircraft can be interrogated by computers in air traffic regarding what altitude the autopilot is set for. The plane automatically replies with this data (amongst other data).

They know he selected 100 feet on the panel and pulled the switch which then causes the autopilot to try and achieve this new altitude.

+1 the media should stop using his name. He should be known a "the murdering b@stard co pilot" and his grave should be in the form of a urinal where the victims family can go and p!ss on it.

and when in that totally irrational mind set, who knows what you do
but yes - I would hope the same
but even then, unless you are a total "billy no mates" - some people are going to be devastated

So, the pilot’s supporters claim that he’s wrongly blamed to cover up mechanical failure.

Plot thickens.

I think his own ones are terribly shocked and stand in total disbelief hence the denial. He's posthumously proving to be a man of mysteries; the mysteries that even his close ones perhaps couldn't ever fathom. Must be terribly difficult for them to make sense of all that.
I read that more has come out to support the 'suicide' version, and as the second black box has also been found now; currently being examined.
