Taken January 2005 from Faro - FAO to Toronto, ON (Lester B. Pearson International Airport) - YYZ
On a recent flight from Faro to Toronto, I was shocked with the fact that passengers were permitted to enter the cockpit multiple times during the flight (as SATA stated, after a 2-month delay in responding, that this was 'family' of the crew. It wasn't until I complained to the Canadian Transportation authorities about this violation of flight safety that they responded, claiming they followed all regulations (certainly not Canadian regulations). Similarly, a number of 'family' members were upgraded to Business Class, allowing the flight attendant to focus entirely on a child in the "family" rather than the paying passengers. 4 hour delays appear to be not uncommon, as this happened on our departure, the day before, and the week before. At all cost, fly another airline!! |
