The names of the pilots have not been released, only the hours of the captain were released, in excess of 10K hours.

Allegedly this is due to privacy laws in Germany, but this is not sustainable in the current rumor situation.

By now Germanwings will have lifted the medical files, investigators will have talked to not just family and will know a lot more.

So the secrecy is not only the French side but also the German side.

With all the current labour issues in German aviation we can only hope this was an individual drama not something even more sinister in an industry where the individual has to often finance his own expensive education (contrary to medecine etc).
