On a side-note (it's Friday; one can be picky on Fridays): why the semi-colon?

Or, if it was during boarding, and no breaking into was involved, “passenger enters cockpit.” No semicolons involved!

I am presuming this event occurred prior to the closing of the flight deck door. Another report I saw stated the flight was preparing to take off. As I read it, the plane preparing to take off had taxied to the end of the runway.
Seems it's more likely this happened while the jet was at the gate.
Anyone know?

You can see from the video that the jet was at the gate, ground power cord still attached and the forward cargo door open.

Clearly D Rotten has his troll on. I thought they picked up all the Oath guys yesterday. Must have missed one.

Interesting to note that there is no mention of the nationality of the offender. Could be an American and therefore the racist comments below are worth even less that in thir original form

'only in a 3rd world country' ? Hmmm, incidents on commercial aircraft in the USA happen with such regularity that I suppose according to your statement we now should consider the USA a third world country.

Agree. The USA is replete with bizarre, dangerous, and ultimately selfish activities by pax who believe that they are "privileged" and may do as they please simply because they are American and cannot be told, what to do. IMO, the pandemic has exposed a cultural flaw and the sheen is off the USA.

The USA is headed that way ("Third world" I fear

What a stupid comment. Illegal immigrants are unlikely to be taking a flight on a commercial aircraft in the first place and as far as I know there is no requirement in the USA for anybody to get a Covid 19 vaccination as sensible as it is to do so. Not sure why this is "the plan of the Dems". What an idiot. Defaming the good reputation of pilots with these comments.

He can say "Let's go Brandon" all
day long.
He can wear it on his arse,
paint it on his truck or tattoo it on his forehead.
I don't care.
Why?
Because "Brandon" told the former
guy to shut up on national TV.
Then he took his job.
His house
And his Twitter account.

Inflation was predicted while Trump was still President. It's not a big stretch to understand how basic economics work. Shut an economy down, you get deflation, ramp an economy back up, especially as fast as it happended here and the rest of the world, you get inflation. Add in world-wide supply and worker issues, you arrive where we are. Same thing would have happened regardless of who was elected.
The US is not the only country in the grips of inflation

Amazing what short memories American’s have. Of course gas was cheap in 2020! Everyone was hunkered down at home hoarding toilet paper, unemployment was 14.8% and deaths from COVID were equal to those lost in the 9-11 attack every day. Oh, the good old days! So now, unemployment is at close to record lows, airlines are no longer teetering on the edge of default, personal income, spending and GDP are all higher but that dollar candy bar now costs a dollar and seven cents. I’ll take that over 2020. The best way to fight inflation is to raise the Fed rate which is imminent. This will cause the stock market to fall and the cost of your home mortgage to go up. This will give the “good ole days” folks something new to gripe about. Personally, I just did a cash-out refi of my home for 2.55%. This won’t last but it shouldn’t. Over the last 50 years, home mortgages have averaged 6-8%.

We bought our first place in the late 80's and had an interest rate close to 11% and we thought we were getting a deal!

Inflation, like lung cancer, is typically a result of earlier actions. But if you think oncologists cause cancer, I’m not going to try to convince you otherwise

Aren't all flights from Latin America free? Maybe he was charged for his ticket.
