There be an over ride switch on the outside
Quote from: gats on March 27, 2015, 08:05:28 PMThere be an over ride switch on the outsideWhich could be exploited by others, and would probably make it more dangerous. Cause what if the suicidal co-pilot would override what the normal co-pilot is doing and fly the plane into the ground?

loo
Why not just give the pilots their own toilet behind the pilot door?
It doesn't have to be a pilot, but a crew member sits in the cockpit if the pilot exits it for the toilet on yank planes IIRC.So likeCabin - Pilot and CopilotPilot goes to the loo, Stewardess goes into the cockpit and waits for his returnSomething like that would be a decent failsafe without any extra resources or training. What is also a little apparent is that the psych screening/evals of pilots are pretty lacking. If they step that up in response to this, that can only be a good thing <.<Or we just put AIs in the planes and have much safer flights >_>

Following the tragedy of the plane crashing into a mountain, people are starting to wonder if a third pilot is needed on a plane. To be honest, I don't think there should be a need for that, it will cause some downsides, more specifically, higher costs in plane tickets to places which will put off traveling to some people. And plus, I doubt we even have enough pilots to take a third seat in the cockpit, it can maybe lead to less flights overall. I don't know much about airline stuff, but I guess these are my only points I can think of at the moment.What do you think?

Do you think there should be 3 pilots in a cockpit?
