Good post.
But with some of the guys here it's like
Thanks for the compliment - I just think the opportunity is being missed on here as to discuss the problem of a crew member being able to enter the flight deck in that state rather than being prevented prior. There has been no discussion as yet as to why the fellow crew members permitted this when Airport Security had identified the issue.

I dont think people stating their convictions on what punative measures should be dealt out is productive especially not knowing the full issue.

As SLF a discussion of punative measures for fellow crew turning a blind eye might as easily be discussed as well considering it was a Security guard that picked up on the problem. But it seems some just want to concentrate on the sole individual.

There are a number of issues to be discussed with the limited knowledge we know - such an unfortunate situation can be made into a positive learning experience to all in the industry.
