Most of the comments here show how 'off - line' this new rule really is!
As someone else has probably said, to be in command an aircraft for one sector, then to be considered a potential security hazard if you want to fly the next sector as a j/s passenger is clearly beyond ludicrous!
The main problem is we now seem to have a generation of rule makers who are unable to think an idea through properly and seem to be limited to schoolboy logic when it comes to having to produce solutions.
