Smathers you are obviously a man without a life.....pilot or no extra pilot the first officer did a great job....sounds like sour grapes from you.....go away.....

Maybe they need a special way to override the door lock?

I guess you'd be screwed!!!
This guy is being thrown to the wolves. Remember folks, this and anything like it could happen to anyone of us. If you are all pilots like you claim, how about supporting a fellow pilot. I swear, everyone is so hyped up after 9/11. A terrorist could take us out anywhere, anytime...
I too admire the FO's guts and courage. Wished he would have been there when Francisco Shetino behaved like a locker room bully.
Unfortunately for commercial carriers there have of late been a few highly publicized incidents of "deranged" crewmember behavior, first cabin and now cockpit. The bottom line can only suffer especially given the dreaded TSA security check passengers must endure prior to boarding. Without being on the inside I can only assume it may be related to the added stress brought on by the threat of terrorism. Unfortunately that will be with us for the foreseeable future.
