A Chinese name. ZBAA is Beijing.

A fictional name. Vatstats.net is a flight simulator / ATC simulation hobbyist site.

Somebody on that site apparently extended virtual pilot Aning Wong's flight biography to place her in the fatal cockpit. Twitter did the rest. And, yes, I fell for it, too.

Hired in 2013, the co-pilot had 630 hours of flight
Very little information has filtered from the air disaster on the personalities of the two pilots. The co-pilot Germanwings Airbus that crashed Tuesday in the French Alps had been engaged “in September 2013,” the airline and had 630 hours of flight, says Lufthansa. He was trained in navigation school group in Bremen

Lufthansa, Germanwings parent company, did not confirm reports that one of the two pilots was found alone at the controls, the other remains locked out of the cockpit. The captain had more than 10 years of experience and more than 6,000 hours on Airbus aircraft, Germanwings indicated on Tuesday.
