re: Germanwings Crash: One Pilot locked out of cockpit at time of crash

quote:

If one of the pilots decides to crash the plane during the take off or landing phase when the plane is at a very low altitude, there could be 10 people in the cockpit and there would be little they could do to prevent it. By the time anyone realized the plane was entering an unusual attitude it would be too late to recover given the close proximity to the ground.

That's totally separate to my point. The 2 person rule would be for situations like germanwings or if the lone pilot became ill/ heart attack/ etc someone else would be there to open the door or summon the other pilot back to the cockpit.
