imho both cockpit and passenger seats should be on the critical item inspection list.

Interesting.. Never seen a secondary lock approved for part 121 A/C. If this was internal, the locks won't work... They will all have keys...

Sorry, but this is an engineering fix for a management/hr/procedural problem. Easier to add locks than fix the underlying issues at the airline. What next? Tertiary locks when these fail?

I wish if there was a mention that the management has decided to add a system of regular check ups as a routine , as I have suggested in one of my earlier comments related to the the basic incident . They should improve upon the existing maintenance regimen !

Not so easy as that A.K. Depends on what they call the "company culture". The big companies spend a lot of money training managers at all levels how to get all the staff to communicate. All it needs is to have ONE person in the chain who has a personal problem. AA has problems finanacial and a few managers no doubt would have lost their composure on occasion...takes a very strong willed employee to go against his manager. No..the issue here HR.
