And I suppose that if I was in the seat, trying to sort out this scenario and my "boss" came in on the middle of it, you can bet I'd mentally pass the situation to him to sort out and then do what he said, whether or not he really understood the situation yet.
Good point. If true, would mean a breakdown of CRM. OTOH, how could the capt. enter through the secured cockpit door unless the situation took minutes to unfold. On the whole, I'll pass on this rumor/leak. Thank you.
