German news: Aircraft had been grounded day before, crews refuse to fly
German magazine "Der Spiegel" is reporting that after the accident, a number of LH and 4U crews refused to board and fly their Airbus. A couple of flights scheduled from DUS and STR have been cancelled. A LH spokesperson confirmed the there have been Germanwings crews that didn't fly "due to personal reasons".
According to the report, the crews in question had doubts that the planes were fit to fly. The A320 that crashed today had been grounded (AOG) at DUS yesterday due to a faulty nose landing door. The problem with the door had been fully adressed, Lufthansa said, so the plane was fit to fly from DUS to BCN and back today.
German flightdeck union "Cockpit" has called off any plans to strike again. A spokesperson said there are other things to talk about now.
