Crash pad, you guess...again and again and again....and you're way off base once again. Weekend warriors? I'm pretty sure my schedule shows 18 days of work this month...
Make no mistake, I take no pride or joy in bringing up something that killed thousands of people, and I wouldn't bring it up except for the fact that it's pretty much changed our industry and our world since then.
We surely wouldn't have put any guns into any cockpits had there never been a 9/11.
It's not about winning arguments simple minded naive village idiot, it's about an unfortunate necessary change. Hell I don't think guns should be necessary on planes, but unforunately that's the world we're livin' in today. If guns shouldn't be on planes, then why in the hell do we even need Federal Air Marshals? If you ask me, I'm sure the job is quite boring but they seem to have a reason for doing it. The FFDO program is a federally regulated program with specifically designed training for pilots who decide to do something other than wish they could have. Why would the government bother with such a program?
Maybe they should ask your opinion since you seem to have it all figured out.....haha...nah...F%)#* that.
