Cortilla- it's going to be nigh on impossible to get the ruling changed for family/airline staff/ATC on FDs. I'm afraid that having pax visit the FD inflight has been consigned to history for evermore without doubt. Our Mr. Mukonyi and assorted nasty moslem acquaintances (we know several of their faces from TV) have seen to that!
I find it extraordinary that following all those terrible events, I haven't seen anybody say in print 'what sort of religion can possibly in any shape or form justify to anybody such behaviour?'. Sad sad sad. If ever it has been brought up, you get some rant about 'Crusades' coming at you. And now we take in moslem refugees and give them shelter and find them cooking (literally) up a mass killing plot of their gracious hosts. What a peculiar lifestyle and thought process!
