jmc-man,
1. Change the regulations. Gee, what a novel idea.
2. A couple in the last two weeks. No cancellations.
3. Yes, if requested to do so.
America only has requirements for flights
to/from America, nowhere else.
Suggest foreign aircarriers get their act together. The provisions to carry an air marshall do
not in
any way undermine the Captains authority on the flight.
A good start for the UK airlines would be to get some of the well trained SAS chaps in the new air marshall program.
Ah...they
are well trained, aren't they?
