Germanwings Flight 9525 [1] was a scheduled international passenger flight from Barcelona–El Prat Airport in Spain to Düsseldorf Airport in Germany. The flight was operated by Germanwings, a low-cost carrier owned by the German airline Lufthansa.
The airline had a long-standing dispute with the Vereinigung Cockpit union, which demanded a plan in which pilots can retire at the age of 55 and retain 60% of their pay, which parent Lufthansa insists was not affordable. Germanwings pilots staged a nationwide strike in support of their demands in April 2014, which lasted 3 days.
The pilots tried to correct the situation, but their action caused the autopilot to raise the nose sharply, causing it to stall. Garuda Indonesia Flight 865 was a DC-10 taking off from Fukuoka when one of its engines had a failure. The pilots then rejected take-off but were too late. The plane overshot the runway, skidded, and burst into flames.
