THY aircraft with 106 pax and 7 crew, from Tirana to Istanbul. When it passed the Greek airspace, it was observed turning around and declaring emergency. Then pilots declared on Hijack. Two persons are in the cockpit and demanded to go to Italy so that they could give a message to ... the Pope!
Now from the Italian TV is reported that they landed in Brindisi.

Wonder how they got in to the cockpit. Thought you couldn't do that nowadays?

After a year in the right hand seat of a turkish airline I know far too well that they keep the cockpit door open most of the time. 
Just a hijack waiting to happen really. Glad I got out of there before I had to experience it first hand!
Scary thing is that they fly all over Europe.

This is what makes my blood boil. I'm asked to take off my shoes and belt despite having four stripes on my arm and yet there are probably numerous carriers operating into the UK with totally lax procedures.
Typical of the UK - we TOTALLY abide by the rules to the point of stupidity and many others just ...... don't.

Good point Daz - but the fact is thta post 911 secure doors became mandatory. Presumably this is a global or pan European directive. If it's not being adhered to by certain carriers then simply ban them or pull their AOC. Why should a whole global industry be put at risk because some carriers can't be ar$$ed to follow procedures

lets not tell terrorists which airlines keep the cockpit doors open
I don't think it matters what we say here. I thought it would have been fairly obvious by the fact the airliner was hijacked.
And do you honestly believe the terrorists come here to plan their attacks? I know the media come here for their stories but let's face it, the terrorists are much cleverer than your average hack

Or maybe not

which airlines keep the cockpit doors open
modern hijacking objectives may now include causing the maximum devastastion on the ground as part of the grand plan ..... an open door can now kill thousands ......
