Today. Seven Years After 9-11-2001

[great cornholio]

It doesnt seem possible that it was 7 years ago. In some ways it feels like it was 700 years ago and in others it seems like it was 7 secs ago. I still remember how eriely quite it was that night with absolutely no air traffic in Florida.

We are slowly, inexorably returning to our pre 9/11 ways. The 'invisible hand' has a very short memory; our procedures are definately slipping back to a model that supports profit over security.

I believe that it's up to us as pilots to prevent anything negative from happening from block out to block in. Our jobs and our lives depend on this.

Even though I wasn't around the 121 game pre 9-11 I was just thinking about this the other day, and it was brought up in recurrent a few months ago. Its kinda stupid how many guys want to open the door in flight to get something they forgot in their overnight bag such as ipod, book, etc. When I first started 121 flying 6 years ago no one ever even thought about doing that stuff.

The flight deck door is not my last line of defense...
