Germanwings says co-pilot did not submit sick note on crash day

BERLIN (Reuters) - Germanwings said on Friday its co-pilot who is suspected of deliberately crashing a passenger plane in the French Alps did not hand over a sick note to the company on the day of the crash. "Currently there is media coverage that the co-pilot of flight 4U 9535 was given a sick note for the day of the accident on Tuesday. Germanwings declares that a sick note for this day was not submitted to the company," the low-cost arm of Lufthansa said in a statement. German state prosecutors said on Friday they had found evidence, including torn sick notes, that co-pilot Andreas Lubitz, had hidden an unspecified medical condition from his employers.
