A specific entry of a code of numbers was mentioned as being heard on the CVR to begin the descent, and that's one way they knew it was an intentional act.
And you can bet they will. Right now they are in damage control mode.
This is going to affect attitudes toward commercial aviation. My God, we not only need to worry about armed terrorists but also about suicidal pilots? Sorry to say, maybe there needs to be someone assigned to cockpits to watch the crew!
"The British baby who was the youngest victim of the Alps plane crash has been pictured for the first time - being cuddled by his mother who also died in the tragedy.
Little Julian Pracz-Bandres, who was just seven months old, was flying back from Spain with his mother, Marina Bandres, when the disaster unfolded.
A photo released by Ms Bandres's family in Spain shows her smiling with joy as she clutches her young son to her cheek.
Blue-eyed Julian, who shows the first signs of hair growing from his head, is wearing a turquoise baby grow in the photo.

R.I.P Little angel and his mum
Thing is, do we KNOW that? I don't know that, I don't know much of anything except what I'm being "told" on TV.
I just got here after listening to this all morning on the news. I have a LOT of questions, but a break isn't something "I" need right now. I've ridden these airbuses, and may do so in the future. Yeah, I have a LOT of questions.
This may have been asked and answered so forgive me:
Was the flight plan filed to fly over the Alps? I keep seeing the maps with a straight line from Barcelona to Düsseldorf. There was mention that the plane deviated to the East, without permission? The controlled descent, the rumor that the co-pilot was on his cell phone prior to the flight, the locked door: all of this makes me wonder if the co-pilot had this planned out ahead of time and this was not a spur of the moment decision. Or was it?
Given the age of the co-pilot, I wonder if his suicide was because of a break up with a girl or guy. Whatever his reasoning, it was so incredibly selfish, it is beyond comprehension. IMO
IMO, if he wanted it to look like an accident, then it was done out of illness or very personal reasons, not to revenge the company
To murder all of those innocent people... hard to deal with that
He had to have known he'd be found out in the end, he could not alter the cockpit recorder.
Sociopaths seldom think about anyone but themselves.
I don't think so. I heard discussion yesterday about Lufthansa and Germanwing. The Germanwings pilots are Luftansa pilots, make the same salary.
Germanwings is currently taking over all Lufthansa direct services outside the hubs FRA en MUC. Routes from HAM are already integrated, BER is being integrated the next months, and DUS is planned to be integrated in spring 2014. In total 30 aircraft of LH are being transferred to Germanwings AOC. The new Germanwings remains part of the Lufthansa seniority list (LH Passage, Germanwings and LH Cargo) and therefore new FO positions are filled in by students from LH Flight School first. New CPT positions according the Lufthansa (KTV) seniority list. In addition, Eurowings (LH-feeder) will join Germanwings as well, but with their own AOC and their own fleet (23x CRJ900) and pilots that have no connection with the LH-seniority list. |
I haven't heard that about a deviation from the flight path to fly over the Alps.
Could someone bring me up to date on that?
Well his name is German and there is a photo of a brown haired guy sitting by the Golden Gate bridge who is allegedly Andreas . He looks like an average youngish Caucasian guy.
Are you suggesting that the investigators, main stream print media and TV stations across the world are lying about his name and posting fake photos to cover up some evil dark skinned Muslim?
I think this story is sad an terrible enough without wild conspiracy allegations about being 'told' stuff.
At the moment it looks like a Caucasian German guy did this - he may be a Muslim convert, but he certainly isn't non-white.
I pray that the passengers did not know what was happening until the last minute, but i find that a bit difficult to believe.
I'm sure there will be lawsuits, and that information will be rigorously investigated by the lawyers for the victim's families.
This is just terrible. Mass murder. Wow.
Why would he care about making it look like an accident?

A Spiegel reporter, Matthias Gebauer, is tweeting that friends of Lubitz said he had burnout or depression in 2009 and had to take time out from his pilot training. During the Lufthansa press conference there were questions as to why Lubitz interrupted his training, but there were no definitive answers.
