#10: Cockpit Crashing

Do you remember the time when anyone could go up to the cockpit? Pilots even used to invite certain people, often children, up to see it. But with a lot of hijackings going on—particularly the events of 9/11—that is no longer the case.

These days, it’s illegal for anyone to try to get to the cockpit, and if you decide to try, the crew are going to err on the side of assuming that you are about to do something deadly, and they will do whatever it takes to stop you. Personally, I would avoid tangling with anyone who is armed with a fire axe. So it’s probably best to just leave the cockpit alone.
