During my time working for a UK LCC, we had a cabin crew arrested by MI6 on suspicion of being part of a terrorist cell. That person was a male, pretty strongly built chap, looked like a gym rat.
The guy brought me a coffee in the cruise on several occasions, was always friendly enough. Everyone was pretty amazed to hear the news.
Obviously a lot of "holy-****" and "what-if" scenarios were discussed among the pilots in the days after his arrest.
We'll never know but I for one am very glad that there was NO policy requiring hosties to be left alone with one pilot at that time, because that would obviously have been the best time for the bad guys to attack.
What's the answer to that one, have TWO hosties up the front, one to supervise the other? Where does it end?
Bloody insanity, and I can't see an easy fix no matter how hard I look
