Planecrash in France, developing story

[CrossLOPER]

A psychoses ain't just a cold, waiting for the official reports but he should have never been there in the first place imho, missed the radar so to say and that is probably all circumstances that were never considered by anyone. Probably nobody nobody to really blame for this happening if you are being reasonable.

No arguing that. Well we don't have a definitive diagnosis, and will probably never will.

Looks like it was exactly what it looked like, second black box rules out any doubt that it could have been an accident. It was pretty likely from the go of course, but it can always be unfortunate circumstances.

What a mess.

Gets even worse, Lufthansa knew that he had serious psychological problems, and should have shared that information by law.

Perhaps that decision boils down to a simple scarcity issue.

Luckily we have already developed drones...

oh ouch, that's going to hurt. If that was a consideration Lufthansa is in trouble.

Heh, I saw an article in German that said some pilot came out and said only the Lufthansa still pays a relatively decent wage, all pilots are under stress due to cost cutting measures with the heavy competition and that he doesn't know of one colleague who hasn't fallen asleep for a few minutes in the cockpit at least once. He also said the wages are so bad that some pilots live in the cheaper countryside and have to drive several hours to get to their plane, which just adds to their being tired. The point was apparently that the situation with pilots is far worse than one would think and it's mainly due to capitalism.

Apparently the problem isn't all new though:

The Pinnacle pilot says he has seen his co-workers take short naps or have trouble staying awake while in the cockpit. A 2008 study by NASA found that about 80% of regional pilots said they had nodded off during a flight.

Isn't that why we have 2 pilots though?

I mean... I honestly don't care if one nods off, as long as the other one is awake...

But yeah, price dumping has really left aviation in shambles... We should seriously start to take another look on it, like we do with farming where people are willing to pay more for a more humane environment...
