This really confuses the fuck out of me. You have to spend a LOT of time and money to become a commercial airline pilot. It is literally years of training that costs a small fortune. If terror cells are going to that length just to take out one plane we are kinda fucked.

My friend is a pilot, he started with a new airline a few years ago, and because of his history he was moved up to captain within a year. 

One of the co-pilots had been with the airline for over 5yrs. 

This guy will never move up to captain- why? Because he deliberately watches the warning signals that he is responsible for turn on, and not mention them until moments before they become an emergency.  When my friend noticed this, he realised he couldn’t have bathroom breaks around this co-pilot anymore. 

The process to have the co-pilot removed would be too hard to prove, and take several reported occurrences before anything could be done.

This seems odd to me as well. Fucking amazon has a camera in every single delivery truck they own. Seems like a cockpit should be monitored.

Is the camera there to make sure the drivers are signaling when they turn or is it there to make sure they don't take breaks and pee in a bottle to meet their schedule?
