    False alarm, nothing to see here, just human error.

    Pretty embarrassing for the pilot who triggered the alarm.

    Was on Dublin flight this eve, and was affected by it. Delayed bout 45 mins in end. Not surprisingly information was a little short in schipol, what was mad was the blinds coming down to block all the windows on d pier. Really added to lock down feel!

    I was there last night waiting to board the flight to cork. Basically we were all hunted from Murphys onward on Pier D and i only heard from a Colleague on the inbound from cork what had happened. They opened the area again and that was that.

    How do you accidentally dial 7500 into your transponder and hit Ident? Been done before no doubt, but surely it's just a matter of ATC calling the aircraft and saying "X, confirm your 7500"?

    If you were a baddy would you not say to ATC "ops normal" sorry about that. Hence why ATC have to treat it as the real deal and push the big red button. The issue is was it some sort of tech issue which I find hard to believe on a modern aircraft or just an idiot being let loose on the flight deck that should know better. If the latter then their career will be very short lived - thankfully for the rest of the professionals.
