What we are hearing this morning is that one of the pilots left the cockpit and was unable to reopen the cockpit door. The voice recorder records the pilot outside the door at first tapping then banging on the door.
The plane apparently begins it's decent FOR 18 MINUTES, so I assume during this horrific time, the passengers and other crew are witnessing this. Perhaps passengers are also recording this. We shall see.
The door locks are activated or unactivated in the cockpit. The pilot can have the door unlocked, normal (which means access can be obtained by a passcode outside the door) or lock position whereby the passcode access is over ridden and the door cannot be opened for 20 minutes.
At this point there is no other explanation. The plane was at cruising altitude then it descends. This must have been deliberate because the plane otherwise was on auto pilot.
Does anyone know with certainty the names of the co-pilot and pilot?
Mohammed and Bob.
Mohammed locked Bob out of the cockpit.
Sure would explain why the other pilots refused to fly.
The copilot was obviously an operative of the
White Mosque ... which is why the White Mosque
“knew” this atrocity was “not terrorism”
.... before anyone even made it to the scene.
Sonderheimer and Lubitz is what I read elsewhere
I would like to think that in today’s world, hijacking a flight from the passenger cabin is a long shot. With just a few able, decent men, any hijacker(s) *should* (I would hope) be dogpiled and beaten senseless.
In this case, I’m thinking if it was terrorism, then the pilot was in on it. But everything I’ve read so far has me leaning towards a non-muslim, suicidal pilot possibly copy-catting the theory of the Maylasian flight that dissappeared, or a pilot that had some sudden, totally unexpected health-related event (cardiac, stroke, etc). It doesn’t make it any better, but it might give the families some way to make sense of it.
The religion of the pilot is more important than the name.
The French news conference said there were positively no one else in the cockpit except the co-pilot, 28 y/o Lubitz.
Obviously, I would not want you on my spelling bee team.

2. Decent (adjective)
Conforming with generally accepted standards of respectable or moral behavior. “the good name of such a decent and innocent person
“We don’t need no stinkin’ badges!”
Sorry, nothing personal. It’s just that i’ve been seeing it misspelled a lot the last 2 days, some of it on actual media sites and it was starting to bother me. I’m not usually so pedantic.

Looks like this will be the exception that proves the rule.
This young guy was just nuts.
Not “jihadi nuts”, just plane old garden variety “just got dumped by my girlfriend” nuts.
So what would you call a morally acceptable reduction of altitude?
I had a friend, one of those supersmart Asian engineer types, in college.
He wrote like that. I was his unofficial English proof reader for the required tech writing class.
Decent descent!
lol...Good one!
I beg your pardon? I’m also an Asian engineer.
Well met, then!
My friend was a great guy, but I doubt his parents spoke English in their home, and it’s such a hard language to boot,
so it was no wonder to me that he struggled with the tech writing class.
Just messing with you. I’m a decent physician of Greek “descent.”
