After 9/11 a mandate was issued to upgrade commercial aircraft cockpit doors that was effective pretty much world wide. The modified doors are essentially bullet proof, and are designed to defeat an attempted breach. The frames are hardened and the doors are a composite build up of pretty good strength, the whole intent is to prevent what you describe. With enough time I am sure you could get through, but there was not a lot of time in this case to get it done.
