Pilot climbing into cockpit through window

I have no context whatsoever for this video but it's hilarious.

I had a problem like this years ago (on a Piedmont Dash-8) whereby the pilots broke the door handle off the cockpit door after it was locked/secured shut. I don't think anybody climbed through a window, but MX did have the pilots working it with a tool from inside (passed through the window).

I was about to say “Even pilots hate the 739!” until I saw the ship number on the nose gear door (and realized they were trying to get in rather than out)

It's a team building extreme ropes challenge?

Didn't you guys hear, the Duke boys were so distraught when Boss Hogg died, they decided to hunker down, study, and became airline pilots at Delta. Now, instead of welding the doors shut on the General Lee, they welded the flight deck door shut.... Oh, and Daisy is a flight attendant, and both Roscoe and Ennis work ATC out of Atlanta.

On the bright side, they'll probably get you to your destination early, although the ride will probably be a bit bumpy.

Maybe a test to ensure they can egress through the window if needed.

Won't be done at an actual gate. Anything like that would be at training center.
