Weird World: back from a mid-flight pee, pilot finds himself locked out of cockpit; passengers watch as he bangs on door (fuck me with a liquid gel)

A pilot who needed the toilet mid-flight found himself locked out of the cockpit when he tried to return. The crew of the Air Canada Jazz flight had to remove the door from its hinges, reports the Ottawa Citizen. The pilot left the cockpit to use the washroom at the back of the plane with about 20 minutes remaining of the two hour and 30 minute flight. He left the flight's first officer in control of the plane and a flight attendant also remained in the cockpit.

But when the pilot returned, the door was stuck - or locked - and the pilot was unable to return to the flight deck. For about 10 minutes, passengers described seeing the pilot bang on the door and communicating with the cockpit through an internal telephone. Eventually, the crew forced the door open by taking the door off its hinges completely, and the pilot safely landed the plane.
