• 11:49 a.m.: Germanwings says it didn't receive a sick note for the day of the flight.
• 10:57 a.m.: A letter found in a waste bin in Andreas Lubitz's apartment indicated he "was declared by a medical doctor unfit to work," Dusseldorf prosecutor Christoph Kumpa said.
Quote:
The fact that investigators found "ripped, recent medical leave notes, including for the day of the offense (crash), leads to the preliminary conclusion that the deceased kept his illness secret from his employer and his professional environment."
The doctor is in trouble if it's mental instead of physical. Who gives a mentally unstable patient (who's a pilot) a note pretty much getting them fired, and ask them to pass it onto their boss.

It doesn't work that way in Germany. The note wouldn't state what kind of illness he had. His bosses must not ask what kind of illness he had.
Just out of curiosity, is that how it works in the States?
Yes. The doctor's receptionist would submit a form both to his employer and to the American government (he'd be eligible for disability) if he was declared legally unfit to work in the U.S.
They found several torn sick notes at his apartment so I doubt he himself wanted anyone to know about his alleged disease. It would've cost his job that way.
