Two Men Demanded Cockpit Access During Flight

On a Westjet flight from Calgary to Winnipeg.

"As they boarded the aircraft, they did ask if they could see the flight deck and were fairly insistent on it, so the captain did take them on the flight deck and showed them a few things," said WestJet spokesperson Gillian Bentley.

"They took their seats and during the course of the flight, the two people involved did approach the flight attendant at the front of the aircraft, asking to go on the flight deck again," Bentley said.

"She told them they could not. They were very insistent," she said.

The men were not armed and did not appear intoxicated, Bentley said, but continued to pressure the flight attendant to let them into the cockpit


No explanation is provided in the article as to why on earth these two men were so insistent to gain access to the cockpit during flight. And, naturally, no mention was made as to what they looked like, if you know what I mean, nor their names. Probably for politically correct purposes.

But draw your own conclusion.

My own impression? Hijacking attempt? Or possibly two possible terrorism/forward recon agents testing to determine the level of security on planes at this point in time, perhaps to determine how difficult it would be to hijack a plane? I call the latter.

Why else? The only other reason I can think of for the bizarre, suspicious, alarming behavior of these two men is insanity. Or possibly a stunt like that infamous one which the infamous Six Imams pulled on another plane not long ago. I bet the CAIR-Can was poised and ready to announce that a proper reaction by counterterrorism authorities was "Islamophobic" or something like that...


What would a progressive liberal leftist revolutionary think when reading this article? Probably nothing at all, if they even bothered to read it; that is, which would require that they actually read newspapers (other than perhaps "Workers' Daily" or "The Moonbat Tribune") in the first place, which would definitely be a Kodak moment were it to be witnessed. They wouldn't have any questions in their heads as to why this incident (and the two men involved) wasn't investigated by RCMP and CSIS, etc...

If authorities haven't conducted an investigation into these two men based on probable cause stemming from their blatantly alarming, suspicious behavior, then the state isn't doing its job to stand on guard for thee. I hope there IS an investigation, albeit one that's apparently quiet and invisible, which I suppose is ok, but we the people need to see that this is being done!
