Hi there.
I believe in airport security. It is true that it is not perfect at all. Could be a lot better. But it works.
It is perfectly possible, xcrew and security coexist together.
Nighstop is saying something true but wrong in relation with xcrew.
Xcrew are not allowed to be in the flight deck unless they are known to the captain and pilots of the same company. That is a law in our OM acording to JAR. Access to flight deck is restricted in our Operations Manual and we follow our OM as Nightstop does. More than that, we are flying in the same flight and we are responsible of the security of the flight. And last but not least we are not blockheads, at least no more blockheads than you. I love my life and my job. I don't want to loose anyone of them and I am the best person to take care of myself.
Let's analyze how to go xcrew with Air Nostrum at MAD.
First you go to an special check in desk to get a ticket to access to the gate. You must show your company card and then it is checked in the computer that it is a valid card. If so, you get a ticket. Without that ticket you can't pass through the police filter. After you go to the security filter and you pass through the scanner and your ticket and your card is one more time checked. Then you arrive to a special gate were one ANS OPS person check your license number and your company card and tell to the ramp agent via walkie to ask to the captain if that person is allowed to fly xcrew. If the captain answer is afirmative, then the xcrew gets a ticket to arrive to the plane. One inside the plane, you must show for the last time the company card and the JAA license to the captain. And I say again, you can be accepted as xcrew, but it doesn't mean that you are allowed to be in the flight deck.
Is it that very different of what you guys do in your countries? It is not even safer than flying as a pax?
Do not think you are the cleverer of the classroom.
