Tinstall & others,
We’ve been through all the arguments about grannies and their knitting needles and the value of flight deck visits ad nauseam on this site. That was not the point of my post. Whatever you may think about the rights and wrongs, CAA ruling is now in place to prohibit entry into the flight deck by non authorised persons at all times. I personally am no longer permitted to travel off-duty on the flight deck of the aircraft I fly for my company nor can my wife occupy the
JS when I am operating.
This being the case it seems remarkable to me that airlines such as Iberia can breeze into our airspace with the flight deck door wide open, showing total disdain for a regulation supposedly applying to all operators into the UK. I wonder how our American friends would feel about this.
