In reply to David B King. You want to give an armed, third-party individual unrestricted access to a commercial airline cockpit?

I thought that every plane had an air marshall on board. If an air marshall was on board every airline, either hired by FAA or airline, they should have ability to override cockpit door lock. In fact one anonymous air marshall would have the ability to enter cockpit in case of emergency. This would solve situations where one of pilots or crew decides to go rogue. An air marshall should carry a personal Oxygen kit as well. He or she could be the only way to save a crash any case of air pressure loss.

I have to say that if Patrick wants any credibility over his stance over the use of the term ‘co-pilot’ then he should now and decease in using the term in his reports. If you want to be taken seriously then stop referring to yourself as a ‘co-pilot’ and stop using the term in your reports. How can you ask the media to take the matter seriously when you don’t. Refer to yourself and forever now as ‘First Officer’ and i am sure the media will follow.

Fabricate, exaggerate and manipulate.

As a commercial pilot flying light planes for 25 years and working as a FAA Certified Flight Instructor, I have met many First Officers that are great pilots and yes they were type rated to fly the same aircraft as the Captain in the left seat.The First Officer could in fact be the Pilot In Command otherwise known as the PIC.Give credit where credits due.

Despite having been a pilot for almost 30 years, my mom still asks me if I actually get to land the plane, since I’m just the “co-pilot”.

In reply to Patrick.

Ah, but does the FO share responsibility of the flight and all that entails with the Captain? You say, “…he’s in charge…”. I’d say, “…he’s responsible…” You are absolutely correct in all other aspects of your reportage, but seem blind to who has ultimate responsibility in the cockpit.

You (and many of the other comment writers in this thread) are also correct that if you have specialized knowledge, you’ll be in constant wonder at what the media gets wrong. I’ve been a practicing mechanical engineer since 1988 and have recently cancelled the local newspaper for failure to give a sh*t about technical facts.
