We were in a DC10 years ago on our way to a hole...aka Mexico.

The pilot came out and greeted the passengers..

at least unconscious and not know what was about to happen...

but they seem not to have been and they would have watched the pilot beating on the door right to the end...

Maybe pilot 2 killed the flight attendant.

Why would one pilot leave the cockpit 40 minutes into the flight?

It would take little effort to fabricate a condition causing the pilot to exit the flight deck for a moment, especially if the other pilot is in on the ruse. "Hey. Karen wants to see you in back . . . alone."

Don’t know...

So, maybe the FA is the jihadist. They cold cocked the one pilot still on deck and didn't let the other return.

That leaves the question of whether they would know how to initiate a controlled descent of the sort seen on radar.

Who says no flight attendant was in the cockpit?

Maybe she/he had already been disabled.

What are the odds that the pilot are Iranian? This does not sound good.

I’d bet that, if the pilot is a non-ethnic German (but German citizen), he’s more likely Turkish or Bosnian.

Concur with many of your thoughts....

Wondered why a ‘land crash’ instead of a ‘water crash’ . . .

Wondered how/why Mirage fighters were in the crash area moments before the crash . . . Why were they there?....Did they suspect something or was some kind of alert given to check out flight and perhaps take action if needed . . .

Wondered if putting plane ‘down’ in “France” enhanced a follow-up to the Charlie Hebdo attacks . . .

Collusion between crew/passengers not out of realm of possibility . . .

Not ATC in VHF. Some aircraft have Aircell for normal phone calls in the cabin. I doubt a low cost carrier had that.

I visited the Flight 93 Memorial. Even approaching the site, I couldn’t stop the tears from flowing. They had audio from the plane that was available to anyone.
Heartbreaking.

I worked at a nuclear research station many years ago. Years before I worked there, a nuclear accident put the army out of the business of creating minimal nuclear power plants for their remote posts. The power plant was to be run by three people. One day during testing, the three individuals working there were found dead. The control rod had been pulled from the reactor, setting off a criticality situation. Eventually it was discovered that one of the men was having an affair with the wife of the one who pulled the control rod.
