He was suicidal, which is the very last attribute you would desire in a pilot. Again, it took the stars to align perfectly for this tragedy to happen. In chronological order:
1. Co-pilot drops out of flight school, but then gets re-accepted. Lufthansa doesn't inquire as to his state of mind or reasons for quitting/rejoining 2. Co-pilot has nightmares - wakes up screaming. Tells his GF about crashing the plane in his dreams; says bad things will happen. She dumps him but does nothing to alert his employer. 3.His shrink prescribes powerful antidepressants, tells him to quit his job. Learns of suicidal tendencies but doesn't warn Lufthansa. 4. Pilot hasn't time to go to the bathroom before they depart Spain. 6. Pilot is persuaded to leave cockpit; no one replaces him.
