FEDERAL – In the wake of the fatal crash of a Germanwings plane near Nice, France on March 24, an incident that killed 144 passengers and six crew members, Transport Canada has issued an interim order that at least two crew members must be present in the cockpit at all times during every flight. “I have asked my officials to review all policies and procedures that may be applicable to ensure the safety and security of the travelling public,” federal Transport Minister Lisa Raitt said in a press statement on March 26. “Our hearts go out to all those who lost a family member or a friend in this terrible tragedy. We are following the situation in Europe very closely.” Media reports have stated that the Germanwings Flight 9525 crash occurred after the copilot locked the pilot out of the flight deck and deliberately steered the aircraft into an Alpine mountainside, killing all people aboard.
