The flight was manned at the time by the First Officer, Canada.com reported.


For roughly 10 minutes, passengers described seeing the pilot bang on the door and communicating with the cockpit through an internal telephone, but being unable to open the cabin door.


The cockpit door ultimately had to be taken off its hinges before the pilot could return to the cockpit.
