Easyjet have announce that they are changing safety regulations so there are always 2 crew in the cockpit , earlier while watching the news it said that BA already have this regulation in their operating procedures

Quite shocking news of this awful event unfolding and we will probably never find out why , and terrible to know of the screams and fear of the innocent passengers and crew at the final moments

Hi,

A lot of airlines today have stated that they are to adopt the two-man cockpit rule.

I am flying with Evelop Airlines later in the year (although originally a Thomas Cook flight). I cannot find any information with regards to their status on the situation. Does anybody else have any information?

Regards,

Hippyjak

It will have Thomas Cook pilots and crew.

Why will it have TC pilots and crew? They are a Spanish carrier that is wet leased to uk tour operators.
Reply
Because Thomas Cook have leased the plane.
A few years ago we flew to Turkey on a Turkish plane that TC had leased.
The crew were all Thomas cook staff.

Depends on whether its a wet lease or dry lease

TC usually damp lease from Smart Lynx and Avion Express. Airlines own flight deck, but TC cabin crew and service.
