FA - limited pilot training
Just to play devil's advocate a little.
What if, during the Captain's toilet break with the Flight attendant in the cockpit, there is a depressurisation problem and the remaining pilot decides on an emergency descent? That's what Lubitz's action may have looked like to a FA, though we pilots know different.
Is the FA now likely to club the pilot with the fire extinguisher to prevent him/her, or do we give limited pilot training to all cabin crew?
Any solution has to be carefully thought through.
