Fullwings has enhanced my previous points brilliantly, which others had failed to grasp. Thank you
people always cite Germanwings, and rightly so. It was a dark moment for our industry. Much like 911 I can recall exactly where I was when I was told the news. The locked door was the last and no doubt large, but still only one hole in the cheese. The FO had seen doctors and been receiving treatment/drugs, but the authority was not informed, due to certain local confidentiality regulations. He didn’t feel able to tell his employer or obtain peer support. This whole area has changed now, numerous new requirements and colleague peer support groups available. Perhaps it doesn’t go far enough yet, but this area will prove more effective than other ideas cited, and it improves people’s lives too. And it keeps the flight deck secure. I cannot think of breach since their introduction, although of course it might be something kept out the media…!
