Delta Capt locked out of cockpit

I heard about this blog written by a kid who is gluten intolerant. https://theglutenfreekid.wordpress.com/ He's a cool little boy and only eight years old! He does restaurant reviews, has recipes and snack ideas. He even does taste tests on different gluten free products and gives his opinion. Your kid and wife might really enjoy reading it.

Thanks! Passed on.

I think it's gotta be really awkward to be the captain "well...I guess I'll just grab a seat. Wait, the flight is full?"

Where would he sit in that situation? Serious question. Take a seat on the fold down seats with the flight attendants? There's gotta be a procedure for this, right?

The lav. He could strap in with 50 layers of single ply toilet paper!

I've actually been kicking that around for the past couple days...I haven't really come up with an answer yet. Standing up obviously isn't a good idea. On my own airplane I'd probably park myself in the galley with a hand on both side. Really the only option.

From the cockpit voice recorder...

CA: Hey, it's me. I'm ready to come back in.
FO: I can't!
CA: What to you you mean, "I can't?"
FO: Door's stuck sir!
CA: Stuck!? Surely you can't be serious!
FO: I am serious! And don't call me Shirley!

"There's a problem with the door!"

"The door? What is it?"

"It's a hinged, revolving, or sliding barrier. But that's not important right now."

Why? Don't trust the FO to land? Why should there be any danger?!?!

I am an FO and even my own landings are sketchy sometimes.

Since one of the forward FAs was in the cockpit, he took her FA jumpseat.

I wonder if he had to help them with the second service.

Even in he just ended up standing somewhere would it really matter? Cats out of the bag at that point.

Wouldn't he just take the FA seat of the FA stuck in the cockpit?

Oh yeah...that thing.

Someone told my father that I was either going to be very successful or head a major international drug cartel.

You say that as if those two conditions are mutually exclusive.
