A Southwest pilot was forced to climb through the cockpit window after a passenger accidentally locked the flight deck door as they tried to use the lavatory during boarding. The Sacramento bound flight left 8 minutes late.

I don’t understand why so many captains choose not to communicate this stuff. This is a great example of how you can make a delay a much more pleasant experience.

A bad day at the office. Thanks to Henrique Garcia for the video.

In this case it would've been fine for the passengers to applaud a good landing.

According to a 2017 research by the British Airline Pilots Association (BALPA), 43% of 500 pilots interviewed acknowledged falling asleep while flying, and 31% claimed waking up from a nap to find their co-pilot napping as well. #Aircraft #Aviation

Here I’ll make the NSTBs job easier: “loss of control resulting in impact with the terrain following departure of all control surfaces from the aircraft” Expect it to come out in a month, two tops.

Where’d the wing go 🤷🏼‍♂️ My landing today from the lower deck onboard British Airways BA296 Airbus A380 from Chicago. A little choppy on short finals but what’s amazing, is how, just like in my previous video but from the upper deck, the outer wing section droops when the

Mechanics just throwing an MEL instead of fixing the problem 💩

Scoop The door plug that blew off the Alaska Airlines MAX 9 was removed for repair then reinstalled improperly by Boeing mechanics at the Renton assembly plant That leaves Boeing primarily at fault for the accident rather than its supplier Spirit AeroSystems seattletimes.com/business/boein…
