Iberia Flight Deck Security
A relative of mine was flying on an Iberia flight today from Alicante to London Gatwick and reported that the flight deck door was open, with the cockpit visible from the cabin, throughout virtually the whole flight, including take off and landing.
I was astonished to hear this, knowing as I do the enhanced security measures that have been introduced by the FAA and UKCAA to reduce the possibility of terrorist infiltration of the flight deck.
Can anybody tell me whether the Spanish authorities have introduced similar security measures? I presume they have because otherwise why are they being allowed into UK airspace, in which case this would appear to be a blatant disregard of security regulations.
