Hi all,
Apologies if this is discussed elsewhere, but I was reading an article in the sunday mail saying that certain pilots in BA/virgin were raising doubts about flying with these new doors.
The argument so the paper quoted was that the cockpit floor was liable to become unsafe in the event of a depressurisation with these strengthened doors in place. I have racked my brains as to why this may happen - are these doors air tight? Can anyone come up with a reason as to why this may happen?... cheers.
