Trouble is you are all doing your best to get around these rules. The rules then become the norm.
Not allowed through: OK no problem just go back to the crew room and phone your airline. Flights go late or not at all. Rules will be changed.
Any argument from ANYBODY about going back to the crew room. Sorry gov, but I was not prepared to get stressed out before operating.
Oh and put in an MOR
Note: Do not get into an argument just shrug your shoulders and walk away, and have another cup of coffee in the crew room. These are not the DFT/TRANSEC rules just airports missinterpreting the TRANSEC letter to Airport Operators.
A few representations from your Airline & Aircraft stuck on stand will get it sorted.
