2 weeks ago I was flying back to Dublin from Las Palmas with Futura Gael. Towards the end of the flight my attention became drawn to what looked like a normal passenger (i.e. no uniform) talking through the open cockpit door to the pilot or co-pilot. I was seated half way down the plane and I could hear his elevated voice....I'm not saying he was shouting...perhaps just trying to be heard above the noise of the plane. Now I'm not the best flyer in the world anyway, but I was petrified by all this. I could see all the through to the control panels of the cockpit. The man remained talking there for 5 minutes, then went inside and closed the door. Next a uniformed man came out, and started checking if all the passengers had were belted up for the landing, even though the stewardesses had already done this. Now this could all be a bit silly on my part, or maybe it's all the episodes of Air Crash Investigation that I have been so hooked on recently making me paranoid!.. but I thought it was all very inappropriate in the current climate of air safety. Am I over-reacting?
