Bingo! Yes, these things take time but during that time EVERY suspect part and practice is scrutinized and changed/modified out of an abundance of caution. If the cause were being bet on in Vegas (I know a crappy idea but let's face it, everything in the world comes down to statistics and probabilities), the money line on pilot suicide the day of the event would have been +800 and would now be running at about a -400.

For those of you non-bettors +800 means if you throw down $100 you win $800, -400 means you'd have to throw down $400 to win $100. Again, I don't mean to trivialize people's lives with gambling but at the core it's statistics and all our lives have been calculated and costs applied more than we would like to think.
