Can we please have this utter stupid flight deck rule revoked again.
Replacing an extremely remote risk by another higher risk policy never made any sense, other
than selling ticket in a nervous market. However it just must change before anything ugly will happen.
I hope for Ek magement to grow some balls and revoke it.
In my opinion it has seriously affected the daily onboard working environment, in a quite negative way unfortunately. Not that im that naive to think they care.
I think more they would care about the commercial price of the media knowing that an middle east airline is giving none psychometric evaluated male CC by the thousands access to a 500+ passenger jet, left alone with one pilot on a every day basis. Hired with insufficient background check to eliminate the potential risk, and for the majority from the arab region. The lack of apparent risk analyse is insulting.
My next airline will have the old Policy for sure.
