Or he chose the remote location because that was the route he was scheduled to fly that day.
Ok, you seem knowledgeable. But at least we can "thank" the guy not to have crashed the plane on a big city (he had a lot of choices available around).
I'd be more worried about the pilots who actually pilot the plane. We have them on every flight. Terrorists not so much.
Maybe thanks to that door lock mechanism?
If one of the pilots needs to leave the cockpit, a member of the flight crew will step in until the other pilot returns.
Preferably cute?
pilot suicide/ homicide is just as much a bizarre outlier as murderous hijacking
Oh the irony! The A320 was one of the first planes to have only 2 pilots instead of 2 pilots + 1 engineer (for cost reasons). At the time, 2 persons could always be in the cockpit at anytime.
Giving one pilot (in the cockpit) the means to basically lock himself in with no ability for the other pilot to enter is too great a danger.
Except when there is a terrorist threatening the pilot outside, asking him to enter the code...
The door has been switched to "Locked".
Let me rephrase that: The door has likely been switched to "Locked".
the politician's cousin/uncle/brother-in-law who surprisingly "won" the bid for construction is very happy. Politics as usual.
Indeed, that's sad, and nobody in Japan will raise that problem high enough that it becomes a concern for everyone.
