The major issue with having Cabin Crew in the cockpit with 1 pilot is that it creates more security issues than it actually solves.
Agreed. Prior to the new rule there was approximately 290,000 people who regularly sat in a flight deck with only one other person. Each one of those people represented a tiny risk with regard to mental state or nefarious intentions.
After the new rule there are approximately 870,000 people who regularly sit in a flight deck with only one other person, each one representing a tiny risk with regard mental state or nefarious intention.
How does that solve our problem? Oh that’s right, it doesn’t , it makes it worse but the public think that the risk has been mitigated.
