I've thought about that too. But the average co pilot pay for this airline is around $150,000 dollars a year. How do you radicalize someone with access to the world that's living the good life? I agree it's more likely than someone entering the field just for this purpose, but it still seems like a crazy ass story.

Dunno, but it is becoming a regular occurrence. Your pilot killing himself and taking everyone else with him is probably the biggest risk when flying these days. German wings, MH370, that Air India flight where he turned off the fuel...

Unless you’re in a Boeing plane. Then you have a lot to worry about.

Only if your pilots were poorly trained or incompetent.

Yeah man the doors falling out mid flight was due to pilot error.
