Since it will probably come up in comments, I just want to acknowledge that you can’t actually open an aircraft door in mid-flight without depressurizing the cabin (which is how D.B. Cooper is said to have made his infamous escape). It’s satire, just go with it.
Also: I’ll be on a panel with David Horsey and Berke Breathed at the LA Times Book Festival at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday April 23, if I don’t get thrown out of the plane on the way there.
