All airlines need to immediately protect from this scenario.

There is no reason for this to happen. Flights should be grounded until there are guarantees in place to end this type of scenario. 

This was not a lengthy flight. Why did the pilot leave the cockpit at all?

There are already standards in place to prevent such scenarios. There is no excuse to have this type of tragedy occur by today's standards. I honestly don't care why the co-pilot decided he had the right to kill everyone along with himself. Every airline has to institute safeguards against such an act. 

There is no understanding 'the poor man.' This is inexcusable. 

There are guns in the cockpit with some airlines. That would be a possibility of murder to anyone who tried to stop the sabotage of the jet. All this has to end and people need to have confidence when flying.  

Europe has been traumatized. It has been one tragedy after another. There could be many reasons why this co-pilot decided to take his life and those of the passengers. The reason the countries' leadership is so public is to bring about reassurances of stability. All those leaders in Europe are very worried about the people due to all these tragedies that don't seem to be ending. This young co-pilot could have did this for a variety of reasons.

Europe is a very different place from the USA in many ways. People care about each other. This deeply traumatizes the public in Europe. 

Europe has a different social contract, this type of violence especially in Germany, is not conceivable. Germany has strong opinions about this type of violence. They have very little tolerance of any violence in their society. So, this is a major upset for everyone.

The co-pilot of the Germanwings airbus that crashed in the French Alps Tuesday had 630 hours of flight experience and had started working in 2013, an airline spokeswoman told ABC News.
Germanwings would not provide any other information on the co-pilot's identity.
One of the pilots may have been locked out of the cockpit, a senior military official involved in the investigation told The New York Times.
The official said the audio on the cockpit voice recorder indicated one of the pilots was outside of the cockpit and unable to re-enter, according to the paper. The unnamed official described hearing the pilot unable to re-enter the cockpit and lightly knock on the door at first, before pounding on it...
