If this is the case, you have to then think about why this pilot would want suicide but also murder all aboard the plane. It's a bit irrational if they wanted to just suicide - you can easily just cut your own throat, hang yourself, or jump off a tall building.
It's a mistake to try to rationalize suicide. People frequently make irrational decisions.
There are already 5 other cases of pilot suicide with a full plane.

Look at financial motive. Some insurance payout stipulation or pension obligation to his family may have been boosted by death on the job.
