You should visit the pprune forum. Huge thread there about it. The explanation for the low number of hours is due to demand in Europe for pilots but not enough pilots plus the training system. That's potato paraphrasing what I picked up elsewhere. But something just doesn't add up. Only based on the CVR and radar data the French prosecuted concluded it was suicide. The investigation is in is infancy and such a conclusion already accepted as fact. Could it be he was suffering from something that precluded his judgment, like a mini stroke, adjusted the height control by mistake and then succumbed. Or given he was a low hours pilot maybe he made the adjustment by mistake, then panicked and froze. Granted 8 minutes is a long time.
