That would leave the captain to do as he pleased. Likely he sent the copilot out of the cabin and locked the door when he did this.

Every advanced aircraft I've flown in the last 5 years (747's,777s,A380s,A330s) have had "sky phones" on them.In a scenario like the one you describe *someone* would have been able to call a relative...call *someone*...telling them what was happening.

I did not know that. Haven’t flown since 9/11 and won’t be ever again unless my husband or kids’ lives depended on it.

BTW, during 9/11 my brother was in France, and got stuck there for a couple weeks due to the flights being grounded. That sucked. He will not be going out of the country again.
