Have you heard the one about the external (non company) LOSA observer, who was unable to get put on the GD, so turned up at the aircraft with a ticket and his ID and requested access to the cockpit.
Capt had no idea who or what he was, tried calling the office boys, but no-one had a clue, so he had him offloaded. Unfortunately the police intervened and took him to the holding cells for a couple of hours
before he was finally accounted for.
By all accounts the LOSA head honcho was not a happy camper, to say the least. Still if he had any doubts about our organizational culture caused by the initial batch of observers refused, he had few at the end of that day.
By all accounts LOSA normally has about a 1% observer rejection rate, should give them something nice to talk about on the conference circuit.
