This is a interesting development. After 9/11 most airline companies installed doors to keep people from getting into the cockpit to take over control of the plane. Now we see that that can be used against the innocents on a plane when a pilot or co pilot seem to be suicidal and flies a large plane into a mountain or something else. Will this bring more changes into the airline business?
