I would like to think that in today’s world, hijacking a flight from the passenger cabin is a long shot. With just a few able, decent men, any hijacker(s) *should* (I would hope) be dogpiled and beaten senseless.
In this case, I’m thinking if it was terrorism, then the pilot was in on it. But everything I’ve read so far has me leaning towards a non-muslim, suicidal pilot possibly copy-catting the theory of the Maylasian flight that dissappeared, or a pilot that had some sudden, totally unexpected health-related event (cardiac, stroke, etc). It doesn’t make it any better, but it might give the families some way to make sense of it.
The French news conference said there were positively no one else in the cockpit except the co-pilot, 28 y/o Lubitz.
