At least 2 Crew Members Always in the Cockpit into EU Flight Regulations !
The investigations will find out the exact details, but based on the above information from the Marseille press conference by French prosecutor held on 26 March 2015 and the press conference of the Germanwings CEO the same day, the following must be implemented with immediate effect in EU flight regulations:
There should always be at least 2 crew members in the plane's cockpit.
Example: in case the captain/co-pilot leaves the cockpit to go to the toilet, a steward/ess should replace him for the duration of his leave. This would give a chance for the stewardess to open the door for the captain, who could do whatever he can to avoid an accident or disaster. The attendant could also detect and question any irregular action on the spot (e.g. why not letting the captain back).
VERY IMPORTANT! There is a huge difference between a company policy on the same and an EU regulation - just think about non-compliance with the above! EU regulation and sanction could be much more effective!
Details of the regulations should certainly be elaborated by the relevant bodies.
Please sign this petition if you agree with the above suggestion. Also use share buttons on the right -->
Update: Good news that after Norwegian, EasyJet, AirLingus other airlines already said they would implement the above. RyanAir has this rule implemented even earlier.
HOWEVER this should not be only an airline decision, but an EU regulation. Airline decisions can be changed (I am not assuming they would do it), but an official EU regulation would ensure it is mandatory for every airline across EU.

I have traveled extensively over the decades for work and I NEVER worried about being in a plane that would crash: certainly NOT intentionally by a pilot. I can't say that optimism still resides in me when thinking of traveling to and among European countries. Lets not be penny wise and pound foolish!
This could potentially save the life of somebody you love, and also your own. Shouldn't have to take a tragic event for this to be implemented.
Former flight attendant in US. Change these regulations so this never happens again!
Canada showed no hesitation and acted quickly and decisively to implement such changes. Any action even if small is welcome to increase passenger sense of security and safety.
Makes sense, the "4 Eyes Principle" also applies in many other safety-critical areas or transactions.

Adapt your regulations or the company will lose many customers!
