261A, you make my point nicely- you were more worried that rules were broken than the thought that you were being hijacked!
Getoutofmygalley (what a great name
) you are of course correct - if the rule is there, it should be obeyed. Your 'word in the ear' is a good solution.
Of course I'm not aircrew, so my opinion should count less than those who are- its just my 2p worth.
Anyhow, fly safely
