I would willingly go to prison if I believed that the alternative was what happened there. Wouldn't you?

There is no information available which suggests that the doctor who signed Lübitz off sick was aware, had a suspicion or could have reasonably have one, that Lübitz was going to work despite having been signed off as not fit for work let alone that he would instigate a crash to kill 150 people.
In the absence of any of that, why would any doctor contact anyone else.
That is not the framework in which we work, and neither do engineers.
The review and subsequent recommendations from the investigations and the medical review group set up by EASA has made several recommendation, none of which was that a doctor signing a pilot off sick, should contact the pilot's employer or regulator.
Should a pilot indicate that they are going to continue to fly against a doctor's advice then it would be imperative to take further formal action and the jurisdictions in which I have experience allow for this, with the reporter not going to prison (of course)
Can I take it from your postings that you report everyone who's aeronautical jalopy, which doesn't pass muster at an inspection, or someone who does not complete their training flight to your satisfaction, with you as their CRI, gets reported to the relevant authorities in case they will continue to fly?
It is increasingly difficult to engage in meaningful discussions on the forums with people who willingly post incorrect and untrue information, especially when they present themselves with something of a professional/academic jus.
It is reasonable to expect a professional not just to be professional in their field of expertise, but also show their professionalism by ensuring that they try and grasp the essence of the matters on which they utter themselves.
It is not about having different points of view, that is of course fine, and I enjoy a good well argued discussion, QED many times on here - but don't come with some unfounded baloney.
