As the stoopid flight deck access rules state " no-one can sit on jump-seat, apart from CAA officials, etc, Wouldn't know them from Adam, but fellow Pilot, Hostie who I have flown with for 20 years cant ????? What's the reasoning behind that.
I think you will find the rules are there to limit the number of times the reinforced and locked flight deck door is opened and closed by people using the loo etc. Logic the fewer on flight deck etc.
I've been in the business for over 30 years and have seen all the bog sitting, strap hanging etc that has gone on but that is in the past.
Security now is the buzz word any sort of infringement will be jumped on. Anyone who was involved with this incident will be looking for another job soon.
