There''''''''s trouble in the cockpit."

"The cockpit, what is it?"

"It''''''''s the small room on the front of the airplane where the pilot sits, but that''''''''s not important now..."

There are several conditions that can cause this type of breakdown and one was even the subjest of the second or third origonal episode of CSI. I hope he is OK, a man with 6500 hours didn''t get there by failing fit reps. As for the FA, she needs some sim time and she''ll be the most requested back up on any AC flight....good for her!

I say promote her to the left seat for good. The co-pilot should be serving peanuts after endangering people''''s lives.

You mean the right seat! The left seat is the Pilot''s

"... said her license for reading cockpit instruments had expired." I think this translates to: she had a commercial VFR license but her IFR rating was not current. IFR=Instrument Flight Rules

Good Job F/A!!

Those passengers should be grateful she had the smarts and the grit to do what she did. That co-pilot that went off the deep end could not have had a very thorough examination. He couldn''t have cracked up that fast. Somebody fell down on their responsibilities when examining him.

You don''t have to be crazy to fly Air Canada.....but it helps.....

At last we can see the lack of wisdom in the locking cockpit door.
