Did you try going out a fire door? If those were locked (usually there is no handle on the outside) it would be a major fire code violation.

Why would they lock the cockpit door
when the plane was empty and parked?

No. I was prepared to spend the night...and then sheepishly explain my dilemma in the a.m.

It was all ‘round embarrassing.

Laugh ‘bout it now though.

I found myself ‘home alone’ @ my local Target store!

That happened to me once, in my dishwashing days working my way thru college. 1975. I was working in a large department store, in the basement restaurant, cleaning up after it closed, just an hour before the store closed. It was mop night, so clean up took longer than usual. This was practically the only time the closing guy didn't check on me.

Fortunately, the number of the guy who responded to security alarms was posted at customer service, so I was able to call him to let me out. He had just arrived home when I called.

The cockpit is left open when all passengers are (supposedly) off the plane so the maintenance crew to work easier. Flight attendants should be fired, and the passenger gets free lifetime rides on another airline paid by Air Canada

Because you can start a jet from the control panel. I doubt they drain the fuel if the plane is only going to be idle for a couple of days or less.

“PLEASE read the article -———— She found torch in the cockpit.”

So other than the fact that you know nothing about airline aviation, what makes you think the ‘article’ has any basis in reality?

(don’t answer; don’t need the ignorance).

Nobody checked on me.

Works better that way ;)
