Lubitz started his training with the organization in 2008 and at one point worked as a flight attendant, the airline's Chief Executive Carsten Spohr confirmed Thursday.

While Lubitz had interrupted his training at some point for several months — the airline would not specify why — Spohr said that was not unusual and that the young German was re-evaluated before his training resumed. He passed all his tests.

It’s unlikely he was alive when the plane hit the ground.

Why would he not want to be present for the finale? I mean, every millisecond counts? Right? And he was privileged to be first on scene!

Not sure he was actually conscious.

I'm going to say Lubitz was a Kenyan Marxist.

It's a long shot, I know, but if I turn out to be right, the payoff will be astounding.
