Are you guys now prisoners on the flight deck? Allowed to furtively use the bathroom when the passenger's attention is diverted?
Shame - I remember being invited upstairs to visit the flight deck of a BA 747-200 going east from Miami to Gatwick. Educational, informative and a joy to see the world from up there. The crew were all professional and appreciated a little intelligent conversation (honest) as a little diversion. It being the middle of the night and all.
Now we live in different times. What I would say to all the people who hate our way of life is go and live your own lives your own way, without our help. Give us back our technology, our aircraft, our ideas and live in the middle ages if you wish. That way the Captian might get to meet the passengers again...... civilised that.
