Germanwings: Always having two people in cockpit makes sense

Reacting to recent revelations on the Germanwings plane crash, Manfred Weber, the Chairman of the EPP Group in the European Parliament, said:

"This plane crash is an inconceivable tragedy. We are all deeply shocked. We should however wait for the findings of the investigation before jumping to any conclusions too quickly. However, such a catastrophe calls for a re-examination of all airplane security standards, in Europe and globally."

"In my view, a technical regulation making sure that there are always two people in the cockpit would make sense. The best thing to do would be to introduce such a rule globally through the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). The ball is in the European Aviation Safety Agency's and the Commission's court."
