It is a sad, sad world when your wife/father/son/daughter cannot spend part of their day with you in the cockpit.
We are gradually losing the "Command Authority" we need to be able to do the job in the best way possible.
We are "required" to carry people from our Company/CAA etc whom we dont know and are quite often a pain in the Bum but cannot share our profession with our family.
How many of us got the bug from an allowed visit to the front end and have had a career in Aviation?
The nutters of the world have the Insurance Brokers and the Admin Staff of most Companies calling it "required security". I dont have a problem with stronger doors to the cockpit as long as the can be observed and opened from the seat.
Having to get out in flight to open and then lock the door is a hazzard just for a cup of coffee.
The best times are gone in most areas, sad to be leaving flying but not the job.
