In an interview with Germany's Bild newspaper, she recalled a comment
Andreas Lubitz made last year.
"One day I'm going to do something that will change the whole system,
and everyone will know my name and remember," he told her.
Flight 4U 9525 crashed on Tuesday.
The woman, a 26-year-old flight attendant who flew with Mr Lubitz for five
months last year, was "very shocked" when she heard the news, the
paper says.
She is referred to only as Maria W.
If Mr Lubitz deliberately brought down the plane, "it is because he
understood that because of his health problems, his big dream of a job at
Lufthansa, as captain and as a long-haul pilot was practically
impossible," she told Bild.
The black box voice recorder indicates that Mr Lubitz locked
his captain out of the cockpit on Tuesday and crashed the plane into a
mountainside in what appears to have been a suicide and mass killing.
German prosecutors say they found medical documents at Mr Lubitz's house
suggesting an existing illness and evidence of medical treatment. They found
torn-up sick notes, one of them for the day of the crash.
They say he seems to have concealed his illness from his employers.
His former girlfriend told Bild they separated, "because it became
increasingly clear that he had a problem".
She said he was plagued by nightmares and would at times wake up screaming
"we're going down".
