Receiving his pilots license, being treated for this kind of depression and also with the anti-psychotic injections should one be flying? >> well of course someone should not be flying. we need to have a process that allows us to identify that -- those problems before we give them a pilots license, before we get pre-employment the laws should uncover that. but the laws in this country prevent that from happening and what we need to do is develop a process where there is a reporting system for th...

Have no explanation at this point. we at lufthansa have for decades been so proud of selecting the best people to become pilots. training them in the best way. having them qualified in the best way. thats something of this kind would ever happen to us is uncomprehendible and i think we just need to understand that its a single case which every safety system in the world cannot completely rule out. i think thats what we take as an explanation, if you want to call it that. >> might there have been...

Exams, and we have a lufthansa, and the reporting system where crew can report without being punished their own problems or problems of others, and none of that was used in this case. and all of the safety nets that we are so proud of have not been use used in this case. >> and so for now, you must be gathering information about this co-pilot andreas lubitz and what have you learn ded? >> well, we wont answer this, because of the law, but of course course, we are looking into things, and even th...

Report folks they think might be having issues whether this or a psychological issue, whether they have problems at home or might be alcohol related issue. they say they have a system thats been in place and working in place. he also did acknowledge in this case this system clearly failed. lets listen to what he had to say. >> the pilot has passed all these tests, all medical exams. we have the reporting system where crews can report without being punished their own problems or problems of other...

Process. they have to do multi-tasking operations under very hard duress to make sure they dont collapse under difficult situations. he said its unclear how all of this could have happened. lets listen in to what he had to say. >> the pilot passed all his tests. all his medical exams. we have a reporting system where crew can report without being punished their own problems or report problems of others without any kind of punishment. that hasnt been used either in this case. all the safety nets ...

They have to multi-task under a lot of pressure. he says that there are evaluations that go on all the time. however, nothing was ever indicated. lets have a look at what he said. >> the pilot has passed all his tests, all his medical exams. we have at lufthansa a reporting system where crew can report without being punished their own problems or they can report about problems with others without any kind of punishment. that hasnt been used either in this case. so all the safety nets all the saf...

Can we get in terms of the radar information that we do have? >> thats a great question poppy, because you know, one thing that theyve got thats a huge advantage is the approximate last known position. to us that was the center of a haystack. now the question is how wide is that haystack? >> right. >> there are clues like primary radar. we havent heard about akars yet. all of that will help to find how wide. i tell you every minute that that plane stays airborne is another ten miles in radius of...

Ping. thats an incredibly small amount of information to base this investigation on. so we have that and basically using old-fashioned advanced algebra and geometry, the experts have been able to look and plot what they believe are these search zones. but quite frankly, at this stage of the investigation we would consider success finding just a piece of that plane. to find those so-called black boxes is highly unlikely. and most people believe could take many years. michael, the reason the diffe...

Paints a target, gives you know good information. seeing that plane in the straights of malacca. then the inmarsat satellites which are getting this handshake ping. thats an incredibly small amount of information to base this investigation on. so we have that and basically using old-fashioned advanced algebra and geometry, the experts have been able to look and plot what they believe are these search zones. but quite frankly, at this stage of the investigation we would consider success finding j...

That a pilot still has the wherewithal to calm this, to basically shut down the acar system and, again, thats the reporting system that reports back to the maintenance facility on how that aircraft is doing. checks in with air traffic control and then turns off the transponder. i think we got confirmation on that. i think thats very telling. >> that was the guy shah, right? the pilot shah? >> we dont know who signed off. thats what im curious about. >> the malaysians know but they havent given i...
