Lufthansa's CEO made a statement this morning after the French prosecutor's press conference.
He said that pilots in the Lufthansa group get medical testing, but not psychological testing. That's a problem; they should be psychologically tested and screened, in my opinion. Commercial pilots have the lives of hundreds in their hands with every flight and potentially hundreds more on the ground if they cause a crash.
The CEO gave details about Lufthansa pilot training after mentioning that Lubitz "interrupted" his training, which he began in 2008. That break lasted several months, but such an interruption isn't uncommon.
CEO Spohr said he couldn't give any information about why the co-pilot had stopped and then restarted his training.
If it was for medical reasons, he said, then that information would have been private before the crash, he said, but it will be part of information gathered during the investigation.
Unsurprisingly, Lufthansa's stock is plummeting.
