What about the tower being able to remotely release the lock on the door after a call from the locked out pilot?
What and make it even easier for the terrorists to down a plane?someone who knows something about jet liners may well be able to answer this... but surely it can't be beyond software designers capabilities to engineer a solution whereby the plane can wrest control from a pilot if the flight parameters are clearly indicating a crash I.e descending at full speed to zero altitude?

Think about it.
GPS signals can provide 3D information, but to be sure, if used in conjunction with altitude meter, the earth's terrain has been plotted or captured so many times over, so we know where there are hills and ,mountains and so on, as it has been mapped so many times, so we would be able to program GPS data along with terrain data, built up areas, any tall structures, or other sensitive nuclear facilities, any thing where a plane should not be close by, I am not sure how they would do this at London City Airport as it is only miles from the tallest building in Europe. Good job Borris rejected plans to double its capacity, this airport is far too near for comfort.
Now how does having two pilots at the cabin at all times still safe for passengers if one becomes a nutter, he could easily knock the other pilot out and take over the control, so they need other kind of safeguards and by having two pilots does still not guarantee safety.
Perhaps, planes should be put into auto-pilot mode in an emergency from ground control and landed by control tower using video from both plane and ground based cameras. The technology is there now so we might as well use it to override human element of unreliability.
