"We don’t know yet the reason why one of the guys went out,”
More importantly, I'd want to know why the other pilot couldn't or didn't respond.
Why was the one black box "empty".
And in fact, any closed compartment (such as cockpits and lavatories) must be able to handle sudden decompressions without detrimental effects.
I'd image that a large volume has an easier time handling sudden depressurization than smaller volumes. A cockpit or lavatory or any other small space would probably need a *lot* of reinforcement to withstand depressurization separately.
As to not releasing the pilots names yet, I think next of kin notification is probably at the top of the list. I don't know if airlines makes such notifications for passengers before releasing their names. They never really know who to notify. They would have that information for their employees. Do we know who the flight attendants were?
Spin control, if it were the case, would more accurately be replaced by stupidity prevention, if there were such a thing. Stupid people jump to conclusions with no evidence because… Well, we know why.
