    United Training Pilots to Use Stun Guns

    Here - Here to that. That's what I say.. How big is a taser in terms of a deterrence when compared to a gun? Why the hell is everybody so afraid of guns?

    USAir Fires Pilot For Not Removing Hat

    OK, here's my 2c.... And I call it 2c because I doubt any of what I am about to propose will occur. If every pilot out there simply refused, the problems would be fixed. - Refuse to sign a dispatch release until ALL bags are physically searched. The problem of bombs in unscreened bags is...

    US Airways Suspends Pilot

    Fighterjock, looks like I pissed you off! AvBug, Ok, since no one else seems to be up at this hour I will respond again. It's far better to keep one's trap shut and appear the fool, rather than open it, and remove all doubt. Since you referred to him, it's a pretty good thing Christ...
