you think they could conceivably operate consistent and reliable
systems whereby a pilot says "I need a cr*p, please open the cockpit
door in 30s", and "someone", "somewhere", has to say " OK", and do that?
I'm sure that isn't what was meant. The ground control would operate
only in exactly the Germanwings emergency case - lockout of an officer
due to the other officer being mentally disturbed or having, for
example, fainted and fallen on the switch.
It does require the locked-out officer to be able to send a suitable
Mayday, but that's not so difficult.
Even so, I think my proposal for lockout being invoked only by both
officers is simpler and possibly more reliable.
