The newest FCI from EK is purely and simply sexist and discriminatory.
To require a "male" flight attendant as second crew member in the cockpit during absence of a pilot bares the question as to why it has to be of that sex.
Can only men operate the lock after being briefed?
Or is there a hidden reason not mentioned?
What if the remaining pilot is a female?
EK/GCAA please think before you write.
