Canadian pilot locked out of cockpit during flight

[Fezz CB]

Are you even allowed to go wash your hands if youre the only pilot? I mean, flip the auto-pilot and go number 1?

I'm an idiot I know. I didnt catch the part about the first officer. The guy could fly the plane too correct?

That's the problem with the media.

They always refer to the "pilot" ... like the rest of the cockpit is chopped liver. The pilot: what the hell is that???

Everyone in the cockpit is a "pilot".

Repeat after me ...

Captain
First Officer
Second Officer (three man cockpit)

.... all cockpit crewmembers are "pilots" and can fly the aircraft, except for the old days and some lingering smaller operators with "professional" Flight Engineers/Second Officers ... i.e., wrenches ... i.e., therefore ... "not pilots".

cockpit

Don't you mean flight deck?

 

[A4sForever]

Don't you mean flight deck?

Uhhhh .... no.

Recognition test for you to study .... which one is the cockpit ... which one is the flight deck???

Time starts .... NOW!!

OOH! OOH! I KNOW THIS ONE! PICK ME! PICK ME!!

My apologies for my lack of maturity for the moment. Although I have referred to the cockpit area as the flight deck before, but not very often.

But do the three pilots have to be dudes to call it a cockpit?

(Daily quota of sophomoric humor filled).

at least one man present in group - cockpit
completely female - box office

 

[HercDriver]

I stand corrected, Squid...and ready to steal that comment for the future!!

COMPLETELY FEMALE ??? A stunt. I've seen it. Believe it.

Wasn't there a thread on here a while back about an all female Air Force C-130 flight crew?

Yes ... completely worthless thread.

I'm talkin' about airlines ... i.e., when guys are moved and the press is called in to accomodate a stunt for airline EEOC public relations.

By the way, in this particular instance ... two of the three females were significantly BELOW AVERAGE aviators ... and this is not secondhand information.

Man, that pilot is a hoser. Bet he was really just goin' back for some french fries and gravey, eh.
