Very sad as with all plane crashes.

I currently fly with Lufthansa about 6 times a month on an A320. Next flight on Thursday. Gulp!

Crash pilot 'locked out of cockpit'.

Bloody Hell. That must have been a scary 8 minutes.

Or the guy in the cockpit became incapacitated for some reason, maybe?

If it does turn out to be suicide, is this better or worse for the industry than mechanical failure as a cause?

Worse. They can do positive things to prevent mechanical failure.

Better, but get your drift.

Easier to solve if is is suicide than a problem with the aircraft. You can't stop suicide, of course, but access to the cockpit is sortable. 

They key to that is that since 9/11, the cockpit doors have to be locked at all times. Apparently, the cabin crew have a code with which they can unlock it, so that's a mystery as to why they never, or were unable to.

its better, though no less palatable for the families of the lost ones

you can sort out access/never leaving a single person alone in the cockpit etc

mechanical failures can ground fleets and affect the industry more imo

I read somewhere that there can be a bolt too.  Some airlines have a two in the cockpit rule.

There have been a few suicides over the years, allegedly.

They ruled out terrorism early, as usual, but it could be the indirect cause.  Or the "war on terror" is, depending where your sympathy's lie.

I'm 99% certain the door does not have a bolt.

The whole system revolves around being able to open it in an emergency. Which clearly failed this time, if the story is true.

Wouldn't being able to open it from the outside in an emergency defeat it's intended purpose though? i.e. terrorist forces someone on the outside to open it?
