A company I work for ( on the continent) allows a member of a family on a flight deck given sufficient notice and security clearance, can you do this anywhere in the UK? Wishful thinking.
Posh Boy, you're so right! When are our lords and masters going to stand up for us? We are the very people who have a vested interest in the safe conduct of a flight yet we are treated as possible hijackers. This is not a dig at the Security staff - they are simply doing what they are told.
High time a sense of realism was injected. Why shouldn't we have our immediate family on our own flight deck, especially after a sensible period of notice?
