Andreas Lubitz deliberately crashed moody A320 in a French Alps in Mar 2015, murdering himself and a 149 others on board.
Investigators subsequently found he had a story of basin and suicidal tendencies, and that Lufthansa – a primogenitor organisation of Germanwings – knew about his health condition.
In remarks to a Hamburger Abendblatt published late on Thursday, doctors’ organisation arch Frank Ulrich Montgomery blamed Lufthansa as good as Germany’s Federal Aviation Authority for neglecting to take a closer demeanour during pilots pang from psychological problems.
“As doctors, we find it abominable that both a Federal Aviation Authority and Lufthansa knew that this commander had annals of serious basin though underwent no sold checks,” he said.
“Lufthansa has unsuccessful as an employer and a Federal Aviation Authority too as a regulator. They should have compulsory some-more visit checks on such pilots,” he said.
“An annual hearing – as is a ubiquitous order – is deficient in such cases.”
Montgomery also highlighted a accountability of medical controls that focused mostly on “physical commentary and laboratory tests” though that neglected psychological examinations.
The alloy also criticised Lufthansa for scrapping a life-long “Unfit-to-fly insurance” that would have given ill pilots a confidence of sketch some income via their lifetime.
Such policies are now singular to only 10 years, he said.
“That is not fair. The operative and training conditions of pilots lead to such vigour that some people rise such problems,” he said.
