 The crew thought the loadsheet said the zero was in kilos instead of pounds.

Especially by those who brought us Germanwings, now rebranded Eurowings, as a 
result. 
 
Recently one of their CRJs left Katowice with no fuel and had to turn back - 
not even enough on board to get the 450 nm to Frankfurt. And then he asked to 
return to the wrong airport - Krakow instead of Katowice, which required an 
ATCO intervention to correct. 
 
Something not quite right with vaunted LH Ops these days?

  The two-persons in the cockpit rule should have been ironclad from the 
outset.  Another nail in the coffin of "single pilot" fantasizing.

LUFTHANSA: 10 MINUTES WITHOUT A PILOT – INCIDENT KEPT SECRET FOR A YEAR

 On February 17, 2024, a Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt to Seville flew for 
nearly 10 minutes with no pilot at the controls.
 

 The co-pilot, alone in the cockpit while the captain was in the lavatory, 
suffered a sudden and severe medical episode. The Airbus A321, carrying 199 
passengers and six crew, stayed in stable autopilot—but there was no response 
to repeated calls from air traffic control.
 

 The captain, locked out, tried five times to re-enter using the standard code 
before triggering emergency override access. By the time the door opened, the 
co-pilot was regaining consciousness. A doctor on board assisted, and the 
flight was diverted to Madrid.
 

 And yet, the public heard nothing until now. Lufthansa and Spanish authorities 
kept the incident under wraps for over a year, until the release of the 
hashtag#CIAIAC’s official investigation report in May 2025.
 

 The cause? An undiagnosed neurological condition. The co-pilot’s pilot license 
has since been suspended.
 

 This rare but serious event has reignited debate around aviation safety. 
Should airlines reinstate the two-person cockpit rule during flight?
