To me this sounds like a risk for service cart/flight attendant/exiting pilot being overcome and entry gained to the cockpit. Even better a hijacker knows exactly when the opportunity arises as the service cart will be moved into place indicating the dance is about to start.
Furthermore, what's to stop suicide pilot murdering co-pilot behind a locked door?

- monkeynotes 5y agoMy point is that if a pilot is determined to murder suicide a whole plane because he's suicidal there is little you can do realistically.
- ilammy 5y agoThat might be true, but there is a difference in causing the deaths of passengers somewhere behind the closed doors by crashing the plane — and dealing with flesh and bone co-pilot right here and now.
- mgoetzke 5y agoNothing is ever safe though. One can put up obstacles, potentially slow it down to make it less likely though.
- monkeynotes 5y agoBut a service cart and flight attendant seems like an entirely ineffective obstacle so what's the point? I think I don't know enough about how this "dance" works to comment, so maybe I'll just shut up :)
