I hope this terrible news won't become a potencial movie in a decade or so.
I assume psychological tests will be more meticulous and harder for new pilots from now on.

I was surprised too - but it seems that that isn't required by the German aviation laws.
I am sure that several airlines will change that now.

Re: Barcelona to Dusseldorf Flight Tragedy
This is an unfolding horror story. Now that we know that it was suicide/murder by the 28-year-old co-pilot, reverberations will be felt throughout the worldwide aviation industry.
So many questions, of which the most obvious are:
Why did he do what he did? Was it planned or spontaneous?
Why wasn't a flight attendant brought into the cockpit when the pilot went to the restroom?

What's happened today is terrible. All those countless mourning families... Terrible. Human defencelessness goes beyond all assimilation.
