Turkish Airlines urges pilots to wed

After the Germanwings crash, Turkish Airlines — seeking to avoid similar calamities — is encouraging its pilots to marry.

“That crash happened after the pilot, who caused the accident, broke up with his girlfriend. Hence, my friends, know that we are absolutely encouraging single pilots to marry,” CEO Temel Kotil says, according to Turkish reports.
