Aircrew are subject to the same mauling and humiliation as passengers.
As aircrew will never stick together, on anything, it will continue. If crews stood up and said no, the stupidity would cease over night.
Can anyone get their head around a system that allows crews to be searched for weapons, have a 1 inch long screwdriver or tiny nail scissors, for e.g., confiscated yet they allow you to arrive at the cockpit, where there is a fire axe on show?
Ban crash axes!!!??? Now!!!!
