Offensive Threat Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I dunno man. If you have a pilot whos psychotic or depressed or whatever and wants to crash the plane with everyone on board. As long as he is rational and able to act calmly he will be able to do whats necessary to see it through. Thats if hes determined and wanting to die seems like something you dont do half assed. Or maybe airline pilots should have mandatory psych reviews every 6 months or something. A review where they cant hide the results from the airline. EDIT: I take maybe 8 to 12 flights a year. Thousands of flights take off and land safely every day. Once in a while one goes down. Its rare enough that it shouldnt bother the average person enough to cancel a trip because of something like this. Unless you enjoy living your life in fear of everything.

TheFirstLine Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Maybe a closet jihadist. Who knows. Maybe not, but he sure as hell isn't labeled terrorist smh. If he was middle eastern this would be a terrorist attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsedin33 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 First we try to keep the bad guys from getting into the cockpit. Now we have to find a way for good guys to get into the cockpit. If there was enough time, this is where a remote takeover of a plane's control would have come in handy. But that's another thread ... MH320 I wouldn't go so far as to take complete remote control of an aircraft, as hackers would be able to hijack planes then. I would make it so the remote control is limited to putting the plane back on its automatic pilot mode. Also, are planes capable of landing themselves with with a predetermined auto pilot setting in emergencies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magician Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 The pilot and co-pilot should each have a key that can access the cockpit from the outside.... how much sense would that make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magician Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Then a terrorist could use said key. People would see someone else going into the cockpit other than the pilot and co-pilot though and go smash his face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyledude Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 What a joke - surely Lufthansa should have known that one of their pilots was a headcase. Do they not screen these people? Now they're hiding behind "confidentiality." Makes you feel really safe as a passenger. How many more of these nuts do they have working for them?

Now they're hiding behind "confidentiality." Makes you feel really safe as a passenger. How many more of these nuts do they have working for them? Doctor-patient confidentiality is a legitimate concept, protected by law, especially in Germany where the laws are especially stringent. Lufthansa would have had no way to know if something was wrong, unless the pilot told them. The doctor would also be unable to inform the airline. If you want to blame someone, blame the laws.

red&white Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 The pilot and co-pilot should each have a key that can access the cockpit from the outside.... how much sense would that make There is actually a number pad that you can enter a code to unlock the door. However there is also a switch in the cockpit that overrides it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
