Urgently needed:-

1. Three people in cockpit, only one allowed out at any time.
2. Live video feed of cockpit to ground controllers.
3. Ability to override locked cockpit door by the cabin crew.
4. Facility to take over control of the aircraft by experts on the ground, should be possible in this electronic age.
5. Better vetting of all pilots.

1. Economically unrealistic to have a third person in the jump seat all the time. What if they were all in on it?
2. Insufficient satellite bandwidth to provide live video feeds from 20,000 aircraft simultaneously. Who's going to watch all these videos? Dozens more satellites would be needed and hundreds of TV watchers required.
3. If cabin crew could do it, so could terrorists and deranged passengers.
4. This would have to be 100% secure to prevent unauthorised access or jamming and the "expert" on the ground would need to be completely trusted.
5. Possibly.

1 out of 5. Must try harder.

I have a kinda solution...

Ok, so yeah any signal transmitted can be snooped on and possibly manipulated. So how do we circumvent that?
My idea is a closed system (standalone) for this situation. The alarm is raised and jets scrambled. These jets should have a commercial pilot in the back with a panel that can connect with this on board system.
When it connects the remote pilot has control, the cockpit is shut down and unusable. Not ideal but it is not a terrible idea.
If the pilot/person causing hell in the cockpit is smashing shit up their should be a system to incapacitate. I dunno a bit of gas released or something that is then vented out when the fucker is down.

It does sound a bit nuts but we already have drone pilots who can fly these things like they are sat on it.
I know there is a huge difference but as a proof of concept it does the trick.

Beyond such a system i don't think you can do very much to mitigate such scenario's.

It's the co pilot they are looking at

Yes. They're pretty much saying all of his actions were deliberate.

Dreadful if true, but at least the rest of us know the planes are safe to use.
 
Re: A320 Airbus Crashes In The Alps. BBC

There is a transcript of the last 30 minutes of conversation between the two pilots, he says. The first 20 are amicable. Then it gets laconical. The pilot asks the co-pilot to take over. The pilot leaves for a “natural call”.

While alone the co-pilot accelerates descent. He used keys of monitoring system to speed up descent, it was voluntary. We hear a number of appeals by the pilot to get access to the cockpit but there was no access. He knocks on the door but there is not response. There is the sound of breathing from co-pilot until impact.

The torture that these passengers endured for the last few minutes of their lives just beggars belief. Those poor people.
