I`m sorry misd-agin...you seem to have got it wrong. So let me put it a bit more clearly:

I AM NOT in favour of pilots firing from within the flight deck...

I AM NOT in favour of pilots firing outside the flight deck...

Actually I AM NOT in favour of pilots firing guns anywhere on board an airliner AT ALL. And that`s because I AM NOT in favour of having armed pilots on board a commercial aircraft.

Come to it, I AM NOT in favour of having firearms on board a commercial aircraft except, perhaps, in very specific high-threat situations. And even then, always in the hands of rigourously selected and specifically trained personnel. No rent-a-cops, no walk-the-beat plod, not even SWAT trained
officers...

And YES, I do have firearms training...

And YES, I do carry a firearm on every working day...

And YES, my nick will give you a good clue why...

Cheers!
