Apparently it seems the co-pilot was indeed sick and had been undergoing treatment for quite some time, and the doctor(s) had written notes indicating he was unfit for duty; all of which he never turned over to his employer nor informed them of. . .

They're not saying what the "condition" or "Malady" was, but the media is insinuating it was likely severe depression. . .
I guess I don't understand why the doctors didn't send the letters to employers instead of expecting him to give the letters to them. I think if I was some of the families I would be suing some doctors. Not sure for what but I am sure a good lawyer could come up with something.

Confidentiality.

My understanding is this was a condition wherein the employee had a private health issue and went to a doctor on his own, not a company doctor so to speak.

Doctors cannot just send your health information to your employer. Nor should they unless the visit was company initiated and the doctor performing the examination / treatment was doing so at the bidding of the company, and the company compensating him for these services.

Now, this is American law and not German, so I am assuming it works similarly . . .

Yes, you are correct on that PH. I wasn't thinking about confidentiality. I guess I was just considering that if a person was a threat than they should have but you are totally correct on that.
