By the way, I don't think there is a consenus among your colleagues about this, Boing's opinion notwithstanding. This thread proves that.
This thread is hardly indicative of any consensus, either way.
Who on Pprune is a pilot and who isn't? I might not be a pilot!
Consensus among my fellow US airline pilots is for arming pilots. Heck, APA (AAL's pilot's union) is officially behind arming pilots. My union (which represents over 4000 pilots) is also considering going that route. Every poll given to the American public supports arming pilots.
APA Security Proposals
Try not to be so sensitive there Covenant.....
