The OP's idea and the ensuing responses reminded me of a scene from one of my favorite movies.
Otter:"Bluto's [insert "giggy's" if you like] right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these .......s. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part." Bluto: "We're just the guys to do it." |

And once you're inside the cockpit you could distract the pilot by offering to give him or her a manicure. And since terrorists don't fly first class, if we only let them use the restrooms at the back of the plane, we won't have this problem.

Most pax are ignorant and unobservant. And afraid someone will get there first. This was the same flight that was 40 minutes late into DTW, and the FAs announced all the way over asking if people ending their travels in DTW to wait in their seats, while the connecting pax de-boarded. I was the only person in F who sat out until the first break in aisle traffic, to let the connecting pax off first. Steve B. |

Inquiring minds want to know.
Dont toss out something like that without backup |

I would like to propose the following for you. On your next flight, bring a 10 pound old phone book with you. Leave it on the plane. NW has 1200 flights a day. If only 1 of us did this on each flight, NW would have to haul away 12,000 pounds of phone books a day :D BTW In Minn. Phone book recycling is the law and mandatory. How ya like dem apples doug?

Most very high rev pax dont even care about points or miles, just the ability to get from a to b with no hassle and no change fees. Get a grip. As for my neg comments about NW. Ive got 900,000 lifetime miles on them. Ive watched a decent world carrier be reduced to a joke. What do you expect, someone to just say how great NW has become?
