That is the same I've seen.
The voice recorder that is pretty much intact should have revealed if that is the case. I'm not sure they have released all the info. Time will tell.
The cockpit door has three settings. Unlocked, it opens freely. Normal, it can be opened with a keypad on the outside of the door. This is how it is set during flight. The last setting is locked which disables the keypad. It seems the door was set to locked after the pilot left which would be a deliberate act.
If you are going to kill yourself, fine, be an a-hole, but to murder 150 people while doing it? Burn in hell, sir.
I didnt think it did change course? In fact I heard one expert (pilot) saying that it was very odd that if the plane was having mechanical issues and losing altitude, why didnt the pilot turn around and head for more "forgiving" terrain? He say they could have traveled 90 miles in the opposite direction in the 8 minutes it took them to go down, thus avoiding the mountains.
In the meantime, Lubitz, a 28-year-old German, manually set the plane on the descent that drove it into the mountain.

That is normal procedure on American flights, always to have two people occupy the cockpit at all times, other parts of the world do not follow this protocol.
