These days are the cockpit doors so strong they could not be kicked open? Who has the keys?

“These days are the cockpit doors so strong they could not be kicked open? Who has the keys?”

Yep, they are steel with steel locking bars.

Yes. The doors were strengthened after 911.

But they're a problem when you have a suicidal Mohammedan pilot.

It could have been a heart attack, but I can't think of a reason why one pilot would lock out the other.

The Question of the Day. I hope someone knows what the Standard Operating Procedure is.

Does the door automatically lock.
Is there a physical key or is it a credit card slot or keypad?
How could the door be secured from the inside so a key wouldn’t work.

Actually, my understanding is that the doors to the pilot’s cabin were strengthened after 9/11 so that the pilot/copilot could successfully lockout and prevent terrorists from taking control of the plane.
