    Not yet.
    But the stupid media started a stupid campaign, defeating Crew and Lufthansa, why the “only 24 year old, female, unexperienced” F/O did the landing and not the Captain. It’s ridiculous! :( The press just should shut up.

    i totally agree; the media just cant stop meddling, questioning, and mucking up the works.

    some may call that the Socratic Method, but I call it ignorance, stupidity, and total lack of morality
