'Student pilot tried to open Alaska Airlines plane cockpit multiple times mid-flight'
This CBS News story about a March 3 incident on board a flight from "California to Virginia" reads like the individual has a severe mental health issue, but it must have been disconcerting for everyone aware of what was going on.
Student pilot tried to open Alaska Airlines plane cockpit multiple times mid-flight, complaint says
The NBC account is similar but identifies the flight as AS 322 SAN-IAD.

I just read about it and then yours.
Along the lines of less than mainstream Alaska pilots, the pilot of a flight that I was on yesterday appeared to be French; his English was very good, but an accent could be sensed in a word such as seat.
By the way, has anyone ever flown on an Alaska flight with two women in the cockpit?

I have been on several flights with two women...this is not unique. What are you getting at here?

Not at all, just not seen often. He was quite competent and informative by the way.
Just that I haven't (but don't mind). Simply curious.

Not Alaska that I know of, but I did fly KEF-SEA with two female pilots. The only reason I know this is we had a perfect view into the cockpit from the jet bridge in KEF. I could not care less what nationality, ethnicity, or gender a pilot is, as long as they are skilled.
