Some of the Long haul a/c now provide toilets in the flight deck area. This way all the operating crew are in the same security zone. I was in a A380 recently and the rest area for the relieving aircrew have bunks and toilet. It maybe economically feasible to convert others.
The problem will be what to do about the short/medium haul a/c. All of them usually have a toilet up front for the F and or J pax, as well as flight crew. As this means money... The front toilet could be aircrew only and the flight deck entry wall moved. F and J guys not too happy. The aircraft could have the front galley removed and converted into a toilet within the flight deck zone. All of these options cost money and or cause inconvenience. BUT, if the unthinkable happens again....values need to change soon. |

Thanks for the feedback.
This might be of interest: http://news.aviation-safety.net/2013...pilot-suicide/ http://www.ibtimes.com/pilot-suicide...-plane-1519756 ACI covered some of these: Silk Air (ACI s12e4) Egypt Air (ACI S3e8) Not included * US Air Bae146, where the flight crew were shot and the aircraft was downed by a disgruntled employee (ACI s11e10) * Fedex Dc-10 where the crew was attacked and survived. (ACI s3e4) * MH370 (Maybe.......) (ACI s14e11) |

If they are going to have a system to unlock the door remotely, they should just ditch the whole Black Box thing and send all the flight data back through the air to the Ops Centre. Seems a much better way of doing things than trying to find a black box after the thing has crashed. The technology is there right now, look towards what the military do. (i.e. Drones).

Owen Zupp has added an article to his blog covering the events surrounding the tragic GermanWings 4U9525 A320 crash - he calls for "balance and perspective" from "calm heads", not knee jerk reactions that may come with their own "potential hazards".

Ok, so you tell your doctor that you drive forklifts for a living. You have a licence, so he believes you. You can still slip through the cracks.

As airlines are implementing the two people rule in the cockpit following this incident, may I ask has Qantas and Virgin Australia followed suit as the result?

Dunno whether the airlines did, but it looks as though they'll be required to http://www.smh.com.au/business/aviat...30-1maull.html
