Unless I am misremembering, they had what they thought was a pretty firm link between the suicide-by-piloting crash in Europe and a pilot’s relationship/divorce.

I’m speculating he was doing it for the lolz. I have no source. Some people are just dicks and do dickish things for fun. If he wanted to die, he could do it when he was piloting his own plane.

I’d say depression, suicidal ideation, possibly just wanted to end it all. Or maybe they sat him between literally every baby on the flight.
