"Germanwings Pilot Was Locked Out of Cockpit"

[Lemon Drop]

If the pilot left behind in the locked cockpit had some sort of health emergency and was incapacitated, that doesn't explain why the plane began a controlled descent from cruising altitude. They would have been on autopilot at that point, right?


If this is true it's quite a scoop by the NY Times. If it's not somebody's in big trouble.
