Good Luck.
Airlines across world have begun putting in place requirements for two crew members to always be present in cockpit. new measures come in wake of Germanwings crash in French Alps on Tuesday in which 150 people died. The swift response from airlines is because of news that the co-pilot of Germanwings flight had deliberately crashed plane. Reports are that he locked the pilot out of the cockpit and set aircraft on a collision course with mountain. Britain's Monarch Airlines said having two pilots ever-present in the cockpit would now be mandatory on all its flights. Cabin crew will also regularly enter flight deck during the flight to check on the pilots.

Airlines are also considering revamping their screening procedures to assess the mental health of pilots. There is speculation in media that Germanwings co-pilot was depressed. He had to stop his training seven years ago because he was suffering from depression and 'burnout'. His boss said co-pilot had taken several months off work and had to retrain to join company, but insisted he was "100 per cent fit to fly". News is also emerging of final moments of Flight 9525. The pilot sensed something was wrong after he had gone to toilet and realised he was locked out of cockpit. There was "absolute silence" in the cockpit as co-pilot steered the plane into mountain.
