SAN DIEGO (CNN) – Anyone who has been locked out of their house or car can likely relate.
A Southwest Airlines pilot found himself locked out of the flight deck recently.
With no other option to get inside, he crawled through an airplane window.
The airline says a customer inadvertently locked the flight deck door while using the restroom.
A passenger on the San Diego to Sacramento flight snapped pictures of the ordeal.
The passenger says he was impressed with the pilot’s dedication - and that the flight only left eight minutes late.
