Re: Security checks for crews are getting to the riduculous!
It’s not the security check itself that annoys me so much, but rather the time it takes out of your pre flight preparation on long haul flights. It takes a lot longer to get crew and pax on an aircraft these days and the airline companies (or at least the ones I have worked for), refuse to acknowledge this in our planned duty times. The same for drug and alcohol testing! Fair enough in principle but it should be reflected in our pre or post flight duty time.
