This is all horrible turn of events, but:
- refreshing that details of this event were made public so quickly
- that the Lufthansa CEO faced the press shortly after the event
- some Carriers made the change to 2-in-cockpit so rapidly
- All Carriers have this potential risk and the industry must determine remedy
Unfortunately a 'remedy' will never be 100%, as a person hellbent on destruction will find a way.
And, the airline industry may limit liability by closing system holes -BUT- what about other transportation fields such as trains, buses, etc. If a crazed determined individual wants to go out with a flair and take multitudes with them...
Thankfully this pilot did not take the plane into a large building in France/Germany and multiply the angst.
