Pre-takeoff checklist
It seems apparent that the Germanwings FO suffered from some sort of medical issue - perhaps depression - which he hid from from his employer and most likely from the German equivalent of his AME.
Although there's no rational connection, I fear this is going to have a negative impact on 3rd class medical reform.
Those opposed to reform will point to the Germanwings situation as an example of what "could" happen if current rules are loosened. Makes no sense, but I don't doubt that this tactic will be used.
