Not allowed by who? Does the airline consider it confidential for business
reasons, or does the FAA consider it confidential for national security
reasons?

Roy,

Our General Ops Manual, which contains our Ops Specs, contains an
opening statement that says: "Disclosure of the contents of this manual
without the authorization of (company) is cause for employee dismissal."

I'm not sure that a FOIA request wouldn't require the FAA to cough up
their copies, though. Unless there is some clause in FOIA that protects
proprietary information.

Happy Flying!
