Anyway, some decent news. It appears that a lot of airline companies will make a new policy after this so that a pilot cannot be left alone in the ****pit anymore.
The whole world should follow suit.A string of airlines last night introduced emergency rules to prevent pilots ever being left alone in the ****pit.
In an attempt to prevent a repetition of the Germanwings disaster, a senior crew member will stay on the flight deck if one of the pilots is not there.
The Civil Aviation Authority urged airlines to review their rules to avoid the pilot or co-pilot being alone at the controls.
Critics say knee-jerk measures such as the reinforced ****pit doors brought in after 9/11 contributed to the tragedy

Critics say knee-jerk measures such as the reinforced ****pit doors brought in after 9/11 contributed to the tragedy
Flybe, easyJet, Emirates, Thomas Cook, Norwegian Air and ****** Atlantic all said they would make this company policy.
Philip Baum, editor of Aviation Security International, said the tragedy was partly due to 'knee-jerk' controls introduced after 9/11.
He told the Independent: 'The ill-thought reinforced ****pit door has had catastrophic consequences.'
Mr Baum said thinking about airline safety had been skewed by the 2001 terror attacks, adding that there had been 'excessive attention given to terrorism' and a 'failure to address other threats to aviation security'.
The CAA ***8216;advises***8217; another staff member should stand in if one of the pilots has to leave to get a drink or go to the toilet.
But until now, one person was deemed sufficient and having a second person at all times was ***8216;voluntary***8217;. However, the latest tragedy will heap pressure on airlines that do not follow the advice.
A CAA statement said: ***8216;Following the details that have emerged regarding the tragic Germanwings incident, we are co-ordinating closely with colleagues at the European Aviation Safety Agency and have contacted all UK operators to require them to review all relevant procedures.***8217;
The authority added that it had made the change ***8216;in the light of the latest developments in France***8217; that revealed the pilot of flight 9525 was locked out of the ****pit.
While the CAA said the switch will remain voluntary, an industry insider said: ***8216;There is some industry chatter about the policy becoming mandatory.***8217;
Budget carrier easyJet was one of the first to announce the change. A spokesman said: ***8216;easyJet can confirm that, with effect from March 27, it will change its procedure which will mean that two crew members will be in the ****pit at all times.***8217; A crew member will temporarily enter the ****pit if the pilot or co-pilot needs the toilet.
Tour operator Thomas Cook said: ***8216;We are adapting our procedures to ensure there will always be two people in the ****pit.***8217;
Ryanair, Flybe, Monarch and Jet2, which flies from the Midlands, the North and Scotland, said they already had policies to ensure two crew are in the ****pit at all times.
Monarch***8217;s spokesman added: ***8216;We also have an ***8220;eyes-on***8221; rule requiring cabin crew to enter the ****pit during the cruising stage to check on the pilot and co-pilot.***8217;
BMI Regional declined to comment, while a British Airways spokesman said: ***8216;It***8217;s not something we***8217;re going to get drawn into. It***8217;s not that we***8217;ve not decided; we***8217;re choosing not to comment.***8217; The airline said it classed ****pit seating as a security issue and never discussed such matters.
****** Atlantic said having two people on the flight deck at all times was ***8216;common practice***8217; but it is now ***8216;formalising***8217; this.
But while most airlines have rushed to comply with the CAA advice, pilots***8217; union Balpa accused the authority of ***8216;jumping to a solution***8217; that could ***8216;create different risks***8217;.
Lufthansa, parent company of Germanwings, was also undecided last night. A spokesman said: ***8216;So far, no decision has been taken to change the procedure ***8230; but we will look into it. So far, we trust our procedure.***8217;
Flying with two people constantly in the ****pit is standard practice in the US. Long-haul flights usually have more than two crew on board who are capable of flying the plane.Comment

If you claim that if it was found out that the pilot in question was a ****** and you wouldn't have thoughts about his religion influencing him(Which it would in an action like this, he wouldn't be ****** otherwise) then you're not being honest with yourself.Originally posted by rorymac View Post

Well it might be a very fast reaction but who knows if there is some other psycho pilot out there who got inspired by this lunatic? Better to take precautions now than later.Comment
