Rather eerie thought. Does makes me wonder if/how often folks in certain careers are given psychological evaluations.

That happened to a German airline a few years ago I think.

Pilots aren't allowed to fly if they're on anti-depressants iirc.

Which is... stupid dumb. Because that just encourages the ones with the worst cases of depression not to take meds.

Maybe pilot is one of those careers that is off limits for depressed people.

That's the thing, it doesn't stop depressed people if they pass the tests or whatever. It just keeps them from getting the medication they need.

Autopilot is basically just keeping the plane steady while flying forward.
So if you place the plane low enough and turn on the autopilot, it will fly straight into a mountain or a skyscraper or anything thats in the way.

This happened like last year.

Pilot waited for the other pilot to leave the cockpit to use the washroom. The cockpit door cannot be opened from the outside because of the silly reactionary rules put in place after 9/11. Pilot nosedived the plane into the side of a mountain, and the other pilot along with everyone on board died trying to break down the cockpit door.
