the magic Lock
put in all planes after 9/11

They are now saying in future when a Pilot
goes to the toilet
another member of staff must enter the cockpit

This would be better.

Off topic in such a tragic thread... but I love your sig Vanessa.

Yes........but would that stop a determined suicide pilot, I mean if it was the lead Cabin attendant that had to go into the Cockpit, whose to say the pilot wouldn't just smash her over the head with something heavy and then continue to carry out his evil plan.

In fairness I don't think you can legislate for every eventuality, what if pilot and co pilot agreed to bring down a plane, or the pilot coshed the co pilot, this third person entering the cockpit happens during some long haul flights at any rate, nothing that is put in place will be fool proof, but events like this are thankfully rare!

On a separate issue I think it is probably incorrect to say the passengers wouldn't have been aware until impact those in the front of the plane would be aware of the pilot trying to get back into the cockpit

I'm guessing far right...

Thank you. :)

Fly El Al... there are always at least two armed Sky Marshals aboard.

i feel nervous about my upcoming flight now. D:

they were aware as screaming could be heard at the end of the recording

one glance to the cabin crew's faces would have told you everything..

Oh God, I hate even thinking about it, those poor people and kids, they must have been so scared. That guy wasn't just suicidal to want to inflict that much pain and terror on those passengers and their families, there has to be more to this story

Some reports say they don't know if it was the pilot or co-pilot who crashed the plane. The voices on the voice recorder are presently indistinguishable.

The Marseille prosecutor said in the press conference they wouldn't have been aware until the last minute when the cries started, which is total fallacy, I guess he was trying to spare the relatives.

Oh, how come they automatically blamed the co pilot then I wonder?

Not sure I believe that, they wouldn't have named the co pilot in the press conference unless they were absolutely certain. Pretty sure they said the captain identified himself when he was trying to get back in
