    I’d guess the issue is fire. Probably the only situation where this would be necessary.

      But like half of airline fires have been caused by things in the cargo hold.

      The cargo hold is typically under the passenger compartment.

      So in reality, there’s a 50ish percent chance that the pilots are just saving their own life.
