It appears that in EZ just like in real life, might wins over right.

Then again, are those rules forbidding a captain to allow whom he/she pleases in to the cockpit "right" or just nonsensical, hysterical, pretend-safety idiocy?

Even if EZ rules do not allow a captain to do what he did in this case, why did she feel the need to report it?
Did she feel that him allowing another pilot (whom he knew) into the cockpit posed a real threat to safety?
If she had not reported it, and it had later come to light, would she have been held accountable for what a captain did? Not very likely.

Itīs a murky story, and if what that journalist writes is factually correct, neither EZ management nor the FA come out of it very well.

Still, most media stories bear little relation to the facts, so who knows what really happened here.
