Flight deck door
I would be interested in hearing from all pilots on the subject of flight deck doors being more reinforced. Here's my question: What's the bloody point? Say your terrorist threatens to kill your crew and passengers unless you unlock the door. What would you do in this situation? One could argue that as long as the flight deck is secured you could land safely, but what pilot would land with all pax and crew deceased?
It's a tough question to answer, I'm sure. I am all in favour of having military personnel (in uniform!) sitting just aft of the forward galley. I would love to hear some of your thoughts on the subject. What happened on 11 September should never be repeated in any manner.
Cheers,
Michael
