Norwegian is doing the same. -- nm - ty97 Mar 26, 12:23 1
- And EasyJet. Apparently in the US it's already required to have two in the cockpit at all times. -- nm - Loyola Mar 26, 12:27
1 pilot + 1 pilot, 1 pilot + 1 hot passenger, or 1 superspy + 1 moll -- nm - Max Mar 26, 12:14 1

Tangent: Why do planes even have two or more pilots to begin with? You'd think with modern technology they would have got it down to one at some point -- nm - con_carne Mar 26, 12:11 2

- lol. I did not see this. -- nm - Ultron Mar 26, 12:36

I expect this will be common soon. Wouldn't be surprised if the FAA regulates it here. -- nm - ty97 Mar 26, 12:07
So, what new policy gets put into place if they both decide to crash the plane? -- nm - Inigo Mar 26, 12:07 9
- all I know is, my damn pilot better use a catheter -- nm - zeitgeist roaming the dark galaxy Mar 26, 12:18

- It's exceedingly rare for one guy to want to crash his own plane. Collusion between two pilots would be so rare - ty97 Mar 26, 12:08 5
  - I'm more pointing out the knee-jerk reaction has flaws as any policy would, but they have to make headlines right now. So... -- nm - Inigo Mar 26, 12:10 4
    - I had actually thought this was policy was one point in time. - ty97 Mar 26, 12:13 3
      - They were saying on the news this morning that this is US FAA policy. Not for all other countries. -- nm - pmb Mar 26, 12:25 2
        
        Is it current policy? I could swear I've seen the pilot come out without an FA going in. - ty97 Mar 26, 12:27 1
        
        of course, there could have been someone in the jump seat I guess? -- nm - ty97 Mar 26, 12:29
