Jetliner pilot locked out of cockpit after toilet break
POSTED: 1912 GMT (0312 HKT), August 30, 2006
OTTAWA, Ontario (Reuters) -- The pilot of a Canadian airliner who went to the washroom during a flight found himself locked out of the cockpit, forcing the crew to remove the door from its hinges to let him back in, the airline said on Wednesday.
The incident occurred aboard a flight from Ottawa to Winnipeg on Saturday. The regional jet, capable of carrying 50 people, was operated by Air Canada's Jazz subsidiary.
Jazz spokeswoman Manon Stewart said that with 30 minutes of the flight to go, the pilot went to the washroom, leaving the first officer in charge. But when he tried to get back into the cockpit, the door would not open.
"The door malfunctioned ... this is a very rare occurrence," Stewart said, adding that the crew's decision to remove the door had been in line with company policy.
A report in the Ottawa Citizen newspaper said that for about 10 minutes "passengers described seeing the pilot bang on the door and communicating with the cockpit though an internal telephone, but being unable to open the door."
Stewart said the paper's report was "a bit dramatic" and stressed that at no time had the plane or passengers been in danger. She did not say how many people had been on board.

| WTF? "c o c k p i t" is filtered out. That has got to be the stupidest thing I have ever seen, even accounting for some of the posters on this site. |

| "At no time were the passengers in danger" ... who believes that? Everyone on a plane is in danger right from takeoff until the plane comes to a full stop safely on the ground. And what if there'd been trouble while the crew was busy removing the door? |

I do. Being on a plane is a lot less dangerous than being in a car.
BTW - I found cock as a vocab word in one of my kindergarten books. I think we'll just skim past that one. |

On the other hand, being on a small jet with the pilot locked out of the cockpit with less than half an hour remaining in the flight strikes me as somewhat less safe than driving my car to the store. Even with a capable first officer up there. |

People are capable of flying solo. Having a captain and a first officer is redundency. For instances like this. I'd still rather be on a plane with one person in the cockpit than in a car going to the store.
I see you figured out how to beat the swear filter. |

What's the matter? You don't know how to say the word cockpit?
That's a shame.  |
