Get this, guess who pooped while flying in our Southwest plane!
Not me.
We were sitting 3 rows back from the cockpit, and mid flight, two flight attendants came to the cockpit door, the door opened and the "Pilot" came out and went into the fwd restroom, while one of the flight attendants went into the cockpit and the second flight attendant stood guard.
Apparently there was no "co-Pilot" in the cockpit, and our plane was flying on autopilot for the 10 minutes the Pilot was indisposed. The Pilot came out, the flight attendant opened the cockpit door the the Pilot went back in.
Two things came to mind:
1. For "safety" reasons, should a "co-Pilot" be required on all commercial flights? I think so. (In case Pilot gets sick, or even dies)
2. Was it a "security breach" when the "fortified cockpit door"was intentionally "opened" during flight? I think so. What say you?
