In Australia, pilots may be charged with criminal offences

From avstop.com – “Under section 4.67E of the Aviation Transport Security Amendment Regulations, it would prevent licensed pilots from accessing a flight deck if they are not on a company list and transfer safety breaches of the cockpit from airlines to the pilots.

In essence if the captain or other pilots fail to lock the cockpit door during flight, or an ineligible person enters and or remains in the cockpit during flight, the pilots would be in violation of the Aviation Transport Security Amendment Regulations under section 4.67E of the regulations if enacted.

“Shifting criminal responsibility to the pilot in command undermines a long held aviation principle that the airline is ultimately responsible for the actions of its pilots….. Any other approach risked allowing airlines to claim they were blameless for accidents and incidents,” Captain Barry Jackson said.”
