nobt not be a first officer, but this comes after the colgan aircraft where we saw crew members not up to the job in the cockpit didn t have enough training and experience, and were subpar in terms of the captain and the performance and the testing. for lufthansa to be hiring somebody with so few hours is concerning. very quickly. i would disagree this say failure of training. this is a mental health issue. at 630 hours more than capable pilot and up to four years ago, a more than capable pilot in the united states. this is really a mental health failure and a failure for us to recognize and change the culture and industry. erin bowen, tom costello thank you, both. let s bring in the panel, joe scarborough, neera tanden, kathleen parker, sam stein. kathleen, you wrote about this, this week, monster in the sky. i feel like we re having we re about to have the same conversation we had when we talked about the shooting in

if they re overcome in some fashion, they may not have been able to respond. authorities say ground teams have located one of the plane s black boxes, critical in finding out what went wrong within board this plane that s considered the workhorse of aviation. in speaking with several pilots today, it really is puzzling as to why the pilots in the cockpit didn t speak at all to air traffic control. we know the rule is you aviate, navigate, then communicate. so this could be an indication they were trying to get the plane under control until the very last minute. or it could be a situation as you heard that pilot say that they were perhaps incapacitated. regardless of what, they need to find out what caused this. we re talking about more than 6200 of these planes trying in the air worldwide today. good point, rene. six to eight minutes with no communication is an awful long time. rene marsh, thank you. nick robertson is closely
speed stayed between 500 and 400 miles an hour of. it looks like this was being done on purpose, some effort to deal with a problem. if that s the case john if they knew they had a problem they were trying to get down why didn t they go to one of the many airports available to them really fairly close? and they would have had a chance. but no effort of trying to turn nothing like that. it does beg the question is it possible, tom, there was a problem and they simply didn t know? this sounds like a crazy idea, but it absolutely is possible, john. in a cockpit they have to rely on their instrumentation. so if you have for example, some equipment that is giving you a wrong sense of your air speed like a frozen that we ve talking about, giving you a wrong indication of how high you are in the air or you become so fixated on one thing you re not paying attention, the truth is this plane could be making its way to the ground and when you hear the alarms and you see the mountains coming
tweet me at #370 qs. we will talk about why the pilots if they were in some kind of trouble in the cockpit didn t send the may day message. sometimes it takes a tragedy like this to impact change in an industry. what changes are experts planning for the safety of the airline industry? that s next.
