***HIJACK*** UAE726 HTDA-OMDB 19/8/2015 - Lairyliam - 08-19-2015
***HIJACK***
At 1723z the aircraft cockpit was entered by a 4 year old pirate who took control of the aircraft while the commander was on Crew Rest.
Upon taking control of the cockpit the Pirate then seized control of the yoke who pushed it away and turned it hard right which disconnected the A/P.
Upon hearing the autopilot disconnect alarm, the captain immediately entered the cockpit, and seized control of the aircraft (The aforementioned Pirate had already vacated the captains seat leaving the aircraft at 90 degrees to the horizon and at least 45 degrees nose down and declaring any knowlege of how it happened!
The captain regained control of the aircraft, and set about questioning and subduing the pirate whilst taking back control of the plane.
Due to the fact that the pirate was subdued (well, if you can call crying subdued) we decided to continue on towards our destination of DXB, and let the authorities deal with it there.
Upon landing, the pirate was instantly sent to jail, for a period of approximately 10 mins, before the courts let the aforementioned pirate out on grounds of good behavior, she was banned from flying for 3 days.

LOL! Liam that was funny!! Maybe a bit of extra training is needed (and NOT for the pirate, but for the commander on crew rest!) :lol:

This is one of the reasons I lock my cockpit door.
I have two suspicious (and curious) characters hanging around on every flight.
My sky marshal though (my wife) usually keeps them at bay for me.
