Good question. They really need to update the technology on monitoring flights.

It's always a victory for me when I remember why I entered a room.

Good question? This is looking...very interesting and must have been horrifying for all.

Anderson Cooper is covering it right now.

The discussion is very thorough but there are still many more questions than answers.

He could have been using the restroom. There are any number of legitimate reasons to leave the cockpit. Why he was not able to get back in needs to be solved. How long was he gone and what happened in there during that time frame. I hope the black boxes are able to help in determining that.

I thought they were never supposed to open that door during the flight, for any reason. The fact that he could not get back in leads me a very unpleasant suicide possibility....

I think different countries have different rules regulating this. However, I do know if a pilot has to leave the cockpit, a flight attendant must go in so that there are always 2 people in the cockpit.

On Jet Blue - they have one attendant go into the cockpit...another one blocks the aisle leading to the front bathroom with a barrier. No one can get around the barrier...everyone has to wait for the pilot to finish and go back into the cockpit.

Yes they are allowed to leave the c**pit but a certain protocol has to be followed. You can not expect the pilot to not use the bathroom especially on a long flight.
