and now please answer:[LIST=1]

Substitute FO for FA and the problem reduces to one already solved.

Or maybe airlines could, you know, cooperate and talk to each other and those that have been doing this for over a decade could explain what has been learned over that time.

I believe life has moved on since last week, and risks that were not apparent prior to last week are now known world wide. IMO this policy adds clear new risks, now the "2 in cockpit" rule is so widely known and practiced.

I would add, again, that this already was widely known and practiced and if there is additional risk from the folks who serve you coffee then there should be evidence in the actual incident record - as there is of the risk of leaving one person on deck behind a locked door.

And "life has moved on since last week"... but life did not move on after LAM 470, EgyptAir, Silk Air ? Were they just being ignored as "couldn't happen here" or because they were African or Arabs or Asians ?
