Good points to ponder indeed..... my post this thread #25.
Well said. I agree with your thoughts on this and post25.
It goes beyond common sense that any policy would allow only one person to remain behind in the cockpit behind locked doors while in flight. People of all ages can have seizures, strokes or heart attacks that debilitate them, or even worse. I’m not sure about USA policy on this.
My bet on the absurd rationale behind implementation of such rule would be because regulators and politicians are in the pocket of the airlines instead of common sense. The airlines can’t seem to squeeze enough out of customers and taxpayers, while always cutting comfort and service levels. They claim they need to merge which reduces the free market, jobs, innovation and competition. Of course the merger justifies a big bonus.
