Lufthansa chief has no clue to co-pilot's motive

The chief executive of Lufthansa said Thursday he was "stunned" by a French prosecutor's conclusion that the co-pilot of a Germanwings plane intentionally caused Tuesday's crash which killed 150 people.

 

Germanwings is Lufthansa's budget-price subsidiary.

 

Chief executive Carsten Spohr told a news conference in Cologne, Germany that "we choose our staff very, very carefully." He said the airline had no indication of why the co-pilot would have crashed the plane. He said pilots undergo yearly medical examination but that doesn't include psychological tests.
