Get your facts right. That was the First Officer on one occasion that we know about. I doubt if the pilot would have permitted that judging from his You Tube channel.

Quite possible Bobby. The pilot would quite likely turn straight back for an emergency landing, maybe he didn't have time to get the oxygen mask on before losing consciousness or dropped too low, too fast and hit the ocean.

However it does explain why i consistently call some posters here idiots.

Leaving for the moment the fact that it is no doubt against 'the rules', I can't
see how having a cutie or two on the footpl.. er, flight deck is relevant, unless
said cuties were terrs in mufti.

I've given (and received) many unofficial rides in the cabs of rail locomotives
and no trains disappeared or were hijacked.

Methinks they're stymied, and are grasping at straws.

Once no wreckage was found, and no terrs claimed responsibility, this was my suspicion.

I don't wish to sound callous, but I do hope this is what happened, rather than some of the other possible scenarios.

Maybe back in the old days. Not now at all.

Flight decks are now instructed to not permit any non-flight personnel in the cockpit at any time,

Back in the 1980s my mother would be able to ride in the spare seat if my father was piloting the aircraft - she often did so they didn't pay to go anywhere - but now regulations are that no non-aircraft personnel can go in there.

This caused some arguments between airlines and flight crew.
In Australia for example one of the Qantas Captains (quite rightly in my opinion) pointed out he could vouch for his wife of 35 years but could not for a maintenance engineer from Brisbane for example who he didn't know.
Yet the wife is not permitted in the cockpit and the Brisbane guy is - albeit still only with the Captain's permission.

The cockpit is by aviation law - to remain locked at all times. If there is any attempt to gain control of a cockpit, the call sign is changed by the pilot immediately to a configuration indiciating the plane is in distress - and also under no circumstances - even if they are executing every single person in the plane - is the door to be opened and the aircraft is to be brought onto the ground at the very first opportunity.

He switched off the autopilot and the plane gradually lost height until it literally plunged at full speed into the ground.

They changed the process on that. You used to be able to disable the autopilot by just pushing the controls forward - which is what the kid did - you now need to press a light that asks you "Do you want to disable auto?"

Okay. It's such a pity that airlines won't make changes suggested by pilots themselves until a crash occurs, and even then they'll procrastinate.

The profit margin is everything.

Er, yes. The pilot on that particular flight was the First officer on the missing MH370 flight. As I said, get your facts right.
