Talk about the airline that couldn't shoot straight:

United Airlines Says Some Cockpit Door Access Info Made Public

 

[mastermags]

I don't understand. United actually told on themselves? Who is running things over in that PR department??

Flava Flav, apparently.

Now all we need is a report of a gate agent going into the cockpit, beating up the pilot, and forcibly removing him from the plane to make room for another higher-priority pilot who needs to be in Louisville the next day.

BWAHAHAHAHA ! ! !

Voluntary disclosure is probably the rightest thing to do for a lot of these things.

They told us it was SSI, then they tell the press? What?!

You laugh but I could probably log on to half the computers in my Brigade by just trying 1 of about 4 standard passwords everybody uses.

Standard door codes that never change to secure a multi million dollar piece of equipment capable of killing thousands on the ground.

Not biometric (eye or finger) or even a freaking badge swipe (badge swipes that are used on jetway doors).

I mean, I just can't even...only in aviation.

It's like jet bridge codes being the default from the factory....
