RE: Savety

I suppose having secret guards is a good deterrant. I don´t find the Emirates a particularly risky place for airlines.

RE: Savety

we dont allow any visitors to cockpits now at emirates and we are upgrading the flightdeck security but i find thatif a terrorist wants badly enought to cause terror on an aircraft then the flight deck is the least of his worries when you can use the passengers to get what you want.
We are trained to do what the hijackers say as most acts of hijacking end peacefully but obviously this was an exception

RE: Savety

Just follow what El AL does. Double doors, armed policemen and tight controls on bord and in the airport. They have achieved really good safety standards. I assume airlines are much more concerned about getting higher yields than improving these costly measures. Many people have pointed that armed police on bord could be risky (event of causing a cabin hole on shooting their weapons), it´s right, but I think is much better a despresurization than crashing the planes on a building. Having paralizing electric devices could be a good point for cabin crews. And whats important…..interchange of information among all countries secret services to prevent these guys to act again.

RE: Savety

Right I enjoy being able to go into the cockpits and having a look around. But if cases like this are going to happen where the hijackers have no intension of them and any of the passengers living. I think that until airport security has been sorted out, the cockpit door should be locked for the entire flight, and that visitors shouldn’t be allowed in.
