Hi all and a merry xmas.
After Sep11 last year the doors to the cockpit were closed to everyone. (barr a few exceptions). The doors were supposed to be closed and locked before takeoff and opened after landing.(or there abouts).
I was recently flying to the US and sure enough this was inforced. Good on them.
However I then jumped onboard an United flight around the states and low and behold the door to the cockpit was left open for passengers boarding. Okay I thought they'll close it for taxi and takeoff.
Nope, the door stayed open for the entire flight.
What gives???
Coming to America the doors are closed but once in America they are left wide open?
Am I missing something here????
