Antigua, re the flight decks:
I was under the impression, perhaps not very well informed, that it had been decided that giving non-uniformed persons access to the flight decks would alarm the pax. I had also been under the impression that our (NATS) famflight scheme had been suspended.

As you can see CJ, reports on the demise of the scheme have been exaggerated.
Flight deck occupants in civvies may leave the flight deck for physcialogical (sp?) purposes. In other words a pee etc... if (other than 400) the loo isn't on the flt. deck. This has been taken to mean a short stroll to combat DVT etc... If one was to sit and watch a movie during that short stroll.............
We still have our families up there, and if my dragon has packed her SS uniform inadvertantly...... well I guess that means civvies.
As for your point about powers above us needing to get involved, well they will say 'there is no evidence of any disquiet in the ranks'.
Well, to paraphrase Ken Woolstenhome (sp again?) ----- 'There is now'.

ANTIGUA
