I appreciate that you sometimes phrase things deliberately in a way that provokes controversy but your quote
' Flight deck occupants in civvies may leave the flight deck for physcialogical (sp?) (sic) 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............. '
is, I presume, taken from your reading of a message from the former '400 CP on the BA Compuserve forum. In order that there is no misunderstanding leading to an overzealous CC member reporting said stroll and watching of a movie it might be pertinent to point out that this interpretation of physiological need was shortly therafter contradicted and expressly ruled out by the notice dated 7th Oct 2001 from the Director of Flight Crew himself which specifically states '.........but an approved jump seat traveller must remain in the flight deck throughout the flight. The only exception to this is for an essential call of nature.'
