The chain of command applies to operating crews...when we are not operating, or deadheading for for operational reasons, and are in civvies I cannot possibly see what the "chain of command" has to do with anything...has anybody questioned this "f" class policy, or just complained about it on Pprune?? Are you a 10yr f.o. heleheleyani? Take it up with the appropriate fleet office maybe the policy will be reviewed...sure it's a bit disappointing to see "junior" csm's getting a better seat than a flight deck, but my friend leave "chain of command" out of the picture...or do you roam the streets of Manama in your uniform because "chain of command" has nothing to do when not on duty...and as far as your comment on opinions, this is what the forum is for right?? feel free to disagree...
