For the first time since all the legislation on jumpseat use by the D.O.T, I had my parents on my flight yesterday.
However,the very people who helped me get into flying are deemed by the department to be a security risk and are not allowed anywhere near me or my colleague on the flightdeck.
I think it is an absolute insult that the 2 people I trust the most in this world are treated like this. I am perfectly happy to excercise the rule on passengers or people I do not know but not people I have known the longest.The use of my jumpseat should be at my discretion not at the will of some rubber-stamping nobody in London.
