Is this is a very recent ruling?
My significant other works for a British long-haul carrier(clue...not BA),and their policy post sept 11 was to only offer JPS on non US bound routes...which resulted in yours truly ending up stuck in LAX through lack of knowledge of this new rule.
Anyway,I'm starting on the ATCO course in Oct2003 and was REALLY looking forward to the flightdeck fam trips......as an ex-dispatcher for aforementioned carrier,I used to escort a lot of trainee ATCOs up the front.
Does this new ruling mean it's now a definite no-no for trainee ATCO flightdeck fam trips?
More importantly,will I be able to get JPS from non-US destinations when on a jolly/holiday with the missus?!(obviuosly kidding about that....fam trip much more important!)
