"Pilots' Buzz
What are airline pilots, cabin crew members and security personnel talking about after the hijackings? Peer into
www.pprune.org (the
Professional Pilots Rumor Network). The 70 forums at this discussion site provide an insider's view of the airline industry.
Much of it is too arcane to be useful to neophytes. But seek out the threads, or discussions, about cockpit doors and armed marshals and you will find that not even crew members seem to agree on what measures will work best.
The Web site usually draws 35,000 visitors per day. That number has doubled since the attacks. The site is based in Britain and has
an international audience, but its founder, Danny Fyne, a pilot, said that the increase in visitors from the United States had been
striking.
In one unnerving thread, pilots mostly agreed that passengers should be instructed before takeoff to "aggressively defend the
airplane."
