Parents/Spouse/Children are not included in the above statement AFAIK.

Before everyone gets their jump-to-conclusion mat out let me dispel the notion that this is specific to NK. It is a purely an IRS issue that we had nothing to say about + we were actually the last airline to implement this.
Speaking of industry standard, since you are a member of management, let me ask. I believe I have been through two recurrents now in which it has been claimed that our fueling procedures are standard with the industry, yet I have multiple friends at other airlines (all of them) yet no one is required to sit on the airplane and wait for a thumbs up from the fueler to begin fueling. Can you guys finally admit that this is just a Spirit issue? I think the FAA was just trying to show you guys who is in charge.
