FAA Proposes secondary flight deck door barrier.

[Icarus2001]

Proposed for NEW aircraft, two years after the legislation is passed but ALPA wants it retrofitted!

My humble opinion is ( if it has to happen) on narrow body jets put a cage door further aft so that the toilet and galley 1L area is secure to exit the flight deck.

Oh for goodness sakes :ugh:

Please tell me this is a windup.

[Icarus2001]

It is not a wind up.

Here is a link to ALPA and their thoughts….https://www.alpa.org/advocacy/flight-deck-barriers

Of course this rule would only affect US operations and even then only for new build aircraft.

Does anyone feel the need for this thing in aus? I know i haven't, despite plenty of Bali bogans

[Captn Rex Havack]

Hey Das - if Tossbag is flying it's probably needed. :ok:

[SixDemonBag]

Great idea. At least we can visit the dunny in peace

[tossbag]

Hey Bro, if it's Bali and Das is our Jetstar FO, I'm there. I can't wait to hang out with you guys :ok:

[Captn Rex Havack]

You'll be the guy drinking in the corner all alone with no mates.

[Angle of Attack]

That would be a good little prison for recalcitrant passengers

[tossbag]

You'll be the guy drinking in the corner all alone with no mates.

I thought we were besties? You, me and Das, like the 3 Amigos?

People getting on a jet and seeing that will have less respect than ever for crew.
