Somebody Call A Locksmith. Delta Crew Locked Out Of The Cockpit

Flight Delayed Several Hours Due To Snafu

A Delta airlines flight getting set to depart from LAX on Sunday was delayed several hours because the crew could not get into the cockpit of the airplane.

Delta Flight 124 was scheduled to depart from LAX to Atlanta at 0900 PST Sunday, but the cockpit door had been locked, so the crew could not get into the front office of the 767-300. It reportedly took mechanics nearly four hours to gain access to the the airplane's cockpit.

Television station KTLA reports that a Delta spokeswoman said the plane had been towed to the gate from a remote part of the airport in preparation for the morning flight. That's when the crew discovered the door was locked and a maintenance crew was called. It was not immediately clear why it took so long to unlock the door.

The flight, which was to arrive in Atlanta at 1620 EST and then continue on to Brussels was three hours and 43 minutes late getting its wheels off the ground in California. It finally landed in Atlanta at 1936.
