Pg 85 ... This prevailing Common Strategy of cooperation and nonconfrontation meant that even a hardened cockpit door would have made little difference in a hijacking.As the chairman of the Security Committee of the Air Line Pilots Association observed when proposals were made in early 2001 to install rein-forced cockpit doors in commercial aircraft,Even if you make a vault out of the door, if they have a noose around my flight attendants neck, Im going to open the door.
