OK, but shouldn't the same background checks then be available to the general public as well? Why can't a pax submit to the same background checks and get the same security privileges as a pilot?
And does the cabin crew submit to background checks too?
Right now at least my perception as part of the flying "general public" is that instead of opposing the new intrusive security policies, pilots actually support them and only want an exception for their own holy asses.
