This just get worse and worse for Lufthansa. Today's news said the co-pilot was removed from duty by a physician for unknown reasons (possibly mental problems) and declared unfit to fly, but nobody notified the airline.
It defies common sense that anyone would rely on the patient being treated for possible mental problems to notify the carrier and take himself off duty.
The medical professional who treated him must feel terrible and procedures will probably change soon, but 150 innocent people are dead.
