I heard tonight the theory of a pilot saying the armored door was not the solution. He said that if some crazy guys in the plane kill two or three passengers or crew and tell him that they will continue killing people if he doesn't open the door, he would probably open it...

Solve this one real easy... go back to a three man cockpit. Done. It will never happen. This case of pilots volunteerly crashing their plane happened around 10 times in modern aviation history out of millions of flights. This will never justify the extra cost of having a three man crew on every plane. This is how free market economy works. Customers today want to pay the smallest possible price for their flights (same with everything they buy), they have to accept the consequences and the risks involved, being this airplane crash, children working in chinese factories or clothing factories collapsing on workers in Bangladesh, as well as being slowly poisened by the industrial food they eat.

In the future this problem will probably be solved when human pilots are replaced by computers.
As long as nobody hacks them, that is. There was a story last week, on the NBC evening news I believe, about people hacking smart cars. So it would happen, I'm sure. Corsaire, I know OvS said a three-man (person) cockpit, but the effect will be accomplished by having no fewer than two people in the cockpit at any given time. So when either pilot or co-pilot feels a need to step out for a moment one of the flight attendants would go in until his/her return to help lessen the chances of a repeat of this tragedy. Of course, there's always the possibility of overpowering the "monitor", which is why I said "lessen the chances". As an aside, I didn't know that the third person had been eliminated until this. How long has that been the case? And more importantly, whose been getting the vectors since Victor's departure?
SALUTE TO ALL!

It wouldn't be for any other reason but security. There are presently no modern commercial aircraft that require more then 2 flight crew to fly it. The B787 being the most modern Boeing venture is above and beyond anything before it, and will fly, and taxi itself. Pilot basically turns it on and off.
From what I gather reading about the investigation, there is a very gray area created about reporting employee health issues according to EASA standards. It seems for this carrier, the responsibility is on the employee to report his/her sickness to the company of employment and not the doctor providing the care. Under normal circumstances of a cold or a flu, I could understand... but a mental disorder that involves the operation of a aircraft is a whole different ball game. There is a fine line between information that should be made "public" and that which should be kept private.
That will most likely be the factor to change. I would gather in the form of airlines and other companies using a specified doctor to conduct routine health/mental checks on all flight/maintenance crews, having the results directly submitted to the Quality/Certifying departments of each individual airlines.
As it stands with whom I work for, our standard are extremely high and nothing less than 100% attention to detail is expected. That should be the standard of any carrier in the business of passenger transportation. But even these standards have hole, which I would imagine are about to be plugged by the FAA, CAA and EASA very quickly.
