Is there any area where BA's operations are more restrictive than the CAA?
The regulations are not a substitute for good judgment and due diligence. I am sure there are some area's of BA's ops manuals that are more restrictive than the law. If BA can make a policy in the interest of safety that is more restrictive in other areas, why did it not do so here? Seams pretty negligent, especially if a lawyer gets up and proves that they SPENT money for safety in other areas, and couldn't do this simple little free thing of locking the already installed door. You lock to door when you go to the crapper don't you? The lives of all the pax ought to be worth atleast as much as your dignity....
