56P, that much I'm clear on. What I was after from DHD or other DJ crew is that they definitely are applying the very same legislation in a very different way and the logic that they are using to do that.
At the moment, no one is taking responsibility for sorting this out. DOTARS say the reg is the reg and so comply, Qf security interpret it one way and force a very restrictive set of rules on Flight Ops that mean my seven year old daughter is not allowed on the flight deck with me- very hard to take her anywhere now! DJ take a different line and appear to be able to still do this. Flight Ops blame security, security blame DOTARS, DOTARS shrug their soldiers and say the reg is the reg so just comply.....it's not a concern to any of them about whether my wife and kids can join me on the flight deck or not. It is a concern to me.
