I guess that last post was partly addressed at my post so I feel I should point out to you that my advice to you and your company was to solve your post #320

I cannot see how your scenario has any relevance to company 'SOPs' since NOTHING short of locking the exits can prevent such events. The best the c/crew can do is to let the flight deck know immediately, and those of us who are aware of the possibility are in the habit of checking the door warnings during our 'deliberation period' so hopefully we might shut the engines down in time.

It also has not a lot to do with the CIA incident either as you say, except that I should ask in a non-provacative/judgemental way whether Ry's SOPs should have called for a c/crew initiated evac in that situation?
