In that scenario, do you have individual accounts on the computer or are you all using a single login and sharing it? The first scenario is fairly secure, the latter is a nightmare.

I've never worked for an airline, so I can't say what happens in that specific scenario.

However, when I worked for a chemical company, printing out the hazardous materials labels for sample drums that were shipped all over the country, the computer had a single common login for all users.

I don't see how that is a nightmare.
