While you seem trustworthy, I'm going to have to wait for BlackPlanePilot to verify.

He's right tho yo .... the only thing he omitted is the fact that the door is practically impenetrable once engaged and the dead bolt(s) are thrown ... like a safe.

The door is even bullet proof and can withstand blasts from hand grenades.

What we are looking at here, beyond the gay terrorism thing ... are the unintended consequences of making the cockpit so secure in the event of a hostile takeover by passengers.

In the U.S. we require that there be two pilots/persons on the flight deck at all times .... one of them can be a navigator or, I've heard, once can even be a flight attendant on the smaller birds.

That is not the case in Europe ... although it will be as of immediately.
