i would like to ask what long haul pilots think about being locked in a rather small room (that is the cockpit) for so many hours.....
.


i suppose it would be better to fly freighters then ..atleast you might be able to visit the boxes.

also someone in a previous post suggested passing some anesthetic gas to disable the hijackers! i always wanted a career in aviation. since i am an anesthetists ...perhaps someone can offer me a place !

just as a point of interest, anaesthetic gases first excite the person before making him sleep .....so the hijacker might actually blow up the aircraft even if he didn't actually mean to !
in the hospital environment , we have ways of preventing this excitement phase ..so don't wory if you are due for an anesthetic in the near future....

i am a non prof pprune member ...sory if my question is very basic ...

As mentioned elsewhere;
Doors open, by definition.
Images of slaughter in the cabin shown on nifty little Tvs don't help unless the pilots can do something about it.
Both are useless.
Save your money and energy, discuss insurance.
