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. |

Awful truth
It is increasingly likely that you were quite right, Dave. I wonder if we'll get mandatory reporting on doctors as we do now. Where a doctor deems you unfit to drive they are required to report you. Hard to see why that logic would not apply to a pilot.

That might only work if you actually tell the doctor that you're a pilot in the first place.....

Mandatory reporting
Maybe it should be mandatory to report your occupation to your doctor too, and/or your employer's details with permission to report for prescribed occupations ...
Yes the privacy advocates will go spare but it's all just a matter of adjusting the balance of rights and obligations in an increasingly complicated world ...

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
