Lufthansa says it had no reason to suspect co-pilot Lubitz

The CEO of Lufthansa airlines says the company had no reason to suspect Germanwings co-pilot Andreas Lubitz of being anything but fully capable of flying.

Investigators suspect Lubitz intentionally crashed a Germanwings flight into the Alps, killing all 150 people on board, after locking the pilot out of the cockpit. 

Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr said Lubitz's motivation is still unknown.

He added that he had passed both his flight training and psychological profiles.

Mr. Spohr said, although commonly practiced in the US, most European airlines do not have a policy of always having two persons in the cockpit at a time. He said Lufthansa has no new policy announcement to make at this time, but will conduct an analysis.
