It's pilot murder suicide.  In this episode we discuss how the crash of Germanwings Flight 9525 changed the nature of how pilot mental health is approached, the need for harmonized aviation mental health and medical regulations worldwide, and initiatives which Dave has led to make the sector safer and more supportive.
