Germanwings airplane crash. Are flights getting more dangerous?

Summary:
An accident on an airline has created a lot of polemics during the last months. A lot of airlines have been criticized because their methods aren't considered reliable enough to give people the security they deserve.

The accident occured because a pilot who wasn't stable medically (he had been diagnosticated with severe depression) decided to crash the plane he drived in switzerland. He made the plane go down over the mountains very fast, and the impact killed all the passengers. This is a tragedy because the society puts in doubt the methods of the airlines.

OPINION:
A few months ago a tragic accident happen. A mad plane pilot crashed a plane in Switzerland just for suicidal causes. He wanted to die, and he did, but all the people in the plane did as well. This caused a lot of questions in the society. Like, "Are we careful enough when we give our confidence to pilots?", "Is the burocratical system of the airlines prepared for this kind of situations?", "How do we know it can't happen again?".... These are just the most obvious ones, which have unchained other questions that are even more controversial than these ones. This is not the first time it happens and in my opinion the regulation system should be less permissive. This pilot had been depressed, and he was allowed to work even though they knew he wasn't stable. Is this normal to happen nowadays? How do I know when I get into a plane that the pilot won't try to kill me? This is fundamental, the psychological exams should be practiced more periodically because like this the risk of accidents would be minimized.

I'd like to give my most sincere apologies to the families of the victims, which have lost innocent people.
