    Some airlines have a policy whereby a cabin crew member needs to enter the flight deck should one of the pilots need to leave the FD, thus ensuring that there is always two people inside the FD. Cabin crew are trained how to operate the FD door lock device from inside the FD. Would this have been helpful had the operating pilot become incapacitated for whatever reason ?

    Whether or not a flight attendant could beat a pilot who is determined to suicide is unknown but certainly having an extra cabin crew member in the cockpit would be a deterrent and can't hurt
