I for one find IGh's post very difficult to read, let alone comprehend, because of the frequent changes of font size, bold vs unbold, etc. It's a shame too, because I think he has a point to make, but that point is obscured by the typography

Always was, always will be.

It's difficult to select fact from opinion and thus to carry on a discussion.

That was a mess!

prescient remark...

Not in the slightest, you put the effort in you get the rewards

Shut that door...

The board's staff criticized the pilots for failing to follow emergency procedures, "squandering" nearly two minutes with extraneous tasks, such as dealing with a cockpit door that became unlocked, and failing to properly divide up duties.

Is this the first incident where the post 9/11 importance of a secure cockpit door has delayed or hampered the crew in dealing with an emergency?
Is there a HF lesson to be learnt here?
Was the crew concerned that the fire could have been terror related and so put that as a priority, or would the crew have done the same thing pre 9/11?

No
