#1 The two-person rule seems so obviously helpful that I'm surprised it isn't done world-wide.

#2 Andreas Lubitz should never have near the cockpit at this time. A lot of people dropped the ball and allowed this to happen; doctors, regulators, the German government. The doctors who examined him apparently did not see him as fit for duty. Nothing happened at that point and he ended up in the cockpit. His license should have been jerked temporarily or permanently. Government regulation must have been lax and authorities must not have gotten the information from the doctors who said he was not fit to fly. No one connected the dots.

#3 Pilot has to use the head ever once in a while.

Leads the question, was the pilot tricked into leaving or was this an opportunity deal?
