I love annoying FFDO's so let me start again.
1. What rational person does this program? Plenty of them...what kind of rational person likes to "annoy FFDO's" for fun.
2. Why are so many new FO's... FFDO's? What about the around the block 8 year captain? New/Young FO's may have more free-time to go do the training, I have flown with plenty of 10+ year captains that pack heat. If your a captain, you probably come into contact with more FO's than other captains, so you may see more FO's with guns simply because of sample size.
3. Why do you never see the grizzled captain who has been in the industry since the 70's with a gun? Maybe they can't take the training...it is fairly physical. I have flown with people hired in the 70's that have packed heat. Maybe they just don't want to take the time to go do it.
4. Why when they tell you that they are an FFDO do you think "Somebody should call the FEDs about standards"? This right here just proves your an idiot...I'm not sure what "standards" you have, but I doubt they are objective or rooted in any sort of social science.
5. Who else thought when they heard about the accidental discharge... "I was wondering how long that was going to take" or "surprised they didn't hit the guy sitting next to them" or something of the "saw that one coming" variety...
Accidents happen...It is naive to think otherwise
If the guy was goofing off he messed up, I'm sure you have messed up before...well you made this post.
This program cracks me up. BudLight salutes you Mr. Gun Carrying Pilot Guy.
I'm a NON-FFDO, and don't intend on becoming one, but I'm perfectly fine with the program and those that choose to go through it.
