It must be hard knowing what is or could be happening outside and i would guess that makes 5 minutes seem like 5 hours when your stuck in their trying to find an airport! I hope no pilot ever has to go through that again.

I imagine the Cockpit crew will never open their door if they suspect an attack.

But what if they saw the Cabin Crew being held at knife point or even worse, being killed through the camera system most aircraft have to monitor who is outside of the door? I know I would find it hard to not feel some sort of duty of care to help the people being threatened with death if the door wasnt opened but at the same time if your flying an A380 with 500+ onboard you also need to try your best to save them.

I suppose training covers issues such as this but i suspect it is just keep door closed and land as soon as possible? Wys, skycruiser – doesnt training cover such issue nowadays?

Why was this moved to GD it obviously as a Commerical Aviation link for crying out loud!

I wonder if they had sorted out Martins visa ok lol!

Just saw the shorts againt earler G-VBAC

Apart from he posted it 39mins from 1st April :p

I wish the BLK to BHD route wasnt £180 return as i wouldnt mind flying on a shed. We saw a Shed here on 31st March parked at a funny angle to the norm. since we reckon there was no tow bar!

The titan was probably operating the Belfast run as it is here in nearly every time i pass EGAC recently!!
