Qantas F/O commits suicide with C172

[MarkR]

Very sad news, and while somewhat understandable the airline is trying to suppress the news, I think issues such as this need more awareness, and therefore empathy.

Authorities refused to provide any details of the tragedy, a move which has infuriated Northern Rivers Aero Club president Bill Kiernan, the man who leased the aircraft to Mr Whyte.

Mr Kiernan told The Gold Coast Bulletin authorities had tried to silence him, warning him not to tell anyone Mr Whyte was a Qantas pilot.
