Pilot gets locked out of cockpit!
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/5301172.stm
"Passengers on a Canadian plane had an unsettling in-flight experience after the pilot found himself locked out of the cockpit after a trip to
the toilet. Instead of slipping back inside, the Air Canada Jazz pilot was seen banging on the door and talking to his first officer on an internal
phone.
Crew members were forced to take the door off its hinges to let him back in.
An airline spokeswoman said the first officer could have landed the flight by himself, and there had been no danger."
What really worries me is the quote by the airlines spokesperson:-
"We investigated the incident... and the crew followed standard operational procedures," she was quoted as saying. "
Does that mean there is a standard operational procedure for getting a screwdriver out and riving a door off?

or a SOP for when the pilot goes to point percy the first office doesnt let him back into the cockpit.
You can almost imagine the two of them just coming towards the end of a flight DESPERATE for a wee and one of them gives up, fully aware that his
colleague wont allow him back into the cockpit, and extreemly pee'd off that he couldnt hold out until theyd landed.
