Airlines in Europe are not required to have two people in the cockpit at all times, unlike the standard U.S. operating procedure, which was changed after the 9⁄11 attacks to require a flight attendant to take the spot of a briefly departing pilot.
Europe’s third-largest budget airline, Norwegian Air Shuttle, announced Thursday that it plans to adopt new rules requiring two crew members to always be present in the cockpit. <-- Good idea -- this should be global policy, in my opinion.
