Virgin plane possible "hijack"

[xxMATTGxx]

Just read the later reports and now see what the case was. I thought it was a little strange when I read about a drunk man attempting to enter the cockpit - yet was unarmed? Certainly not a hijack.

In the UK I imagine they'd get priority but there would be no immediate concern in terms of military action if the passenger had been detained.

Depends on country and probably each case but the aircraft did squawk 7500. In the UK we would probably send up one of the RAF Typhoons to check it out and the escort it to one of the designated airfields for such situations.

But they weren't in a life threatening situation which is what confused me slightly originally - good that they're all safe though

I think it depends case by case. There's been cases where even when a crew have squawked 7500 by mistake, fighter jets have been called and the plane was escorted to make sure everything was okay.

No no I agree, you get some cases where pilots declare a mayday but are never asked to squawk 7700

The guy said he thought he was knocking on the door of the toilet apparently. Other passengers said he was really annoying on board though. I didn't think they let drunk people on the plane/ gave them more alcohol to get into that state.

Thats good to hear, I wonder when she will lose her Virgin(ity)

You have the mental age of a toddler.
and the -rep you gave me just proved that lol

OT: I can understand why they raised an alarm about it, after 911 and the Malaysian plane, but if the man was artrested, I don't get why troops had to enter.
