Now I am beginning to think that this blind faith is a tad naive, or am I reading all of this wrong? Are you guys saying that even in the knowledge that there is a tangible threat to the security of a specific flight, you would be happy to take to the skies safe in the knowledge that one or more armed "sky marshall" will be able to subdue or eliminate whatever threat that a team of hi-jackers happen to impose?
I've read every thread on here, and don't recall any pilot saying that they would take a flight with a tangible threat on board, sky marshalls or not.
Even worse, are you contractually required to fly even if you don't feel happy about the situation?
Just the opposite. We are contractually and LEGALLY required to cancel or have the situation rectified, if we even think that safety of flight is in jeopordy.
