Arming Flight Crew -UK
I appreciate there has been a long thread devoted to this subject but most contributors wrote from a US perspective.
I feel there is a strong case for some flight crew (not necessarily just pilots) to be armed. This would not mean that every flight would carry armed crew but it would be a major disincentive to anyone planning to rush the flight deck that they might have to face either a firearm or taser on the other side.
I appreciate this will need some change of mindset in the UK as opposed to the USA where people are more gun minded -but sadly the days of "Do as we say and nobody gets hurt" are in the past.
