Then the pilot's the hero of the hour, month, year.
They were very lucky to have a couple of pilots on board as passengers else it could still have been a horrendous disaster.

Yes.  He managed to open the door and call for help.

I also read that a colleague of the nutter said that he (the nutter) was a bit of a nutter who prayed a lot and ignored women.  Not sure how true any of that it, other than him having some kind of mental health issue arise in a rather worrying manner, largely because airline  companies keep a close check on the wellbeing of their staff in terms of health, training, psych evaluations and excessive religious views not only for their member of staff's (or indeed passengers') benefit but also their company's.  Plus, of course, planes aren't exactly cheap to buy/contract hire.

I could be wrong but didn't the  stabbed captain came out of the cockpit looking for help, opening the door himself ?
He was damned lucky to get away in one piece.
I gather he's still in a serious condition.

I was under the impression that after 9/11 all passenger aircraft cockpits were secure from the inside and that passengers could not gain access. 

Left my garden wellies outside yesterday, it rained...put them on and got soggy feet...
Cutting back all the tomato plants that's the season over.

I'd need to buy a bigger front garden. There is a tiny porch but putting a glass door on it just shows any parcels and putting a proper door on it hides the fact it's a porch for delivery people and provides lots of privacy for wrong 'uns to have a go at the front door.

You could buy a porch online and have it delivered.  😬

I have no porch. I do have a quite large parcelbox but I know that some things that are coming won't fit so wait in.

Of all the delivery companies that bring things to our house, Royal Mail is the only one that ever messes up either through lateness or losing things.

That's the drawback to living in a block of flats.

Yes, the royal mail service is rubbish now.
So what's their answer to solve it?  . . .    Put the prices up and up.
Do they really think that will encourage more customers!!!

Quote from: klondike on Today at 12:18:15 PMBet they come nearer to time than Royal Mail ever do. They seem to reckon you've nothing better to do than hang around for them.

If its something that needs to be signed for,  we have not much choice but to wait in.

Occasionally some courier twits have left it outside in the rain,  but mostly they are pretty good.
