I guess they have not looked at history, it did not work out well for Continental (CAL Lite) or United (TED).

As the Airworthiness authority in this country, they should be.

One bad example does not mean the system does not work. The problem here is that the ODA is a Boeing organization, it should be an FAA organization. It used to be.

I think the point is that more crew training is the answer. Having procedures in place in the AFM is fine, but it is the crew that knows those procedures that will save you, not a crew that needs to read them.

AD 2021-14-20 issued today is for every 737 flying today. A simple check every 2,000 flying hours.

I checked the FAA Website and there has been no recent ADs issued on this issue. It is an old problem and the system had redundancy built in years ago. I wonder what they might be talking about. Just Drama maybe?

Typical ALPA nonsense. On some cargo aircraft the supernumerary seats are in the flight deck, it would not be possible to install a barrier between them and the flight crew.

Just a question and not meant as an assault on your statement, but who should bear the cost of all the additional training?

When I worked for the airlines it was always a boom and bust job, work a few years and then get laid off for the slowdown. Get called back and then get laid off again, hopefully next time you get laid off you have enough seniority to not get laid off for the next slowdown. The taxpayers did not support the airlines and they were run like a business. Now they have allowed the airlines to get so big by merging, that we have to pay to keep the alive? Why do shareholders and executives get bonuses and payouts when employees were supposed to be supported by the govt handout? So much is wrong with all of this.

Read the article, it was about their 2 year old child not keeping his mask on. They were not demonstrating against wearing a mask.
