How long did it take the BEA to fully investigate AF447? Granted the BBs were harder to find under the Atlantic. The BBC even aired a special which turned out to be mostly incorrect once the true nature of the FO and SOs actions were revealed.
Why is a Prosecutor determining an investigation that has barely started? Why did he announce "intent" just when grieving families were arriving on the scene to mourn?
It appears the authorities barely had enough time to seperate the FOs parents from the rest of the mourners...... The air their family home on TV.......
Do we not recall the Uberlingen collision and the subsequent killing of Peter Nielsen ATC operative two years later?
Constant rate breathing is not proof of prozac, or consciousness.
Improper / mistaken door unlocking has occurred before with severe aircraft Upset:
Accident: ANA B737 near Hamamatsu on Sep 6th 2011, violent left roll while opening cockpit door injures 2 cabin crew
We are talking about a 630h MPL with limited gliding background, time as a steward and only employed as an airline pilot since Sept 2013. That's a long break from flight training in 2008.
Whilst Germanwings pays better than most LoCos, the starting salary according to ppjn in 2013 was around 4200 euros and exclusive of repaying 70,000 Euro debts. Better than Flexicrew or Ryan Air FOs but still a burden. Then a wait of 12 years for command and severe changes ahead to Lufhansa group Ts&Cs.
For me the media reports are too simplistic. Absolutely no excuses for any deliberate action by the FO. But where is the FDR and ACAS to confirm speculative FlightRadar reports (ADSB is not encrypted and can be manipulated).
