Pilot Responsibility
I've said before- this serious thread has been hijacked by
non- aviators & the politically correct who will watch the horror unfold on CNN.
Those who are practicing aviators & peddling the anti-gun PC
line I say just this- I respect your right to be a conscientious objector in the war against terrorism-but in doing so you have abdicated your command responsibility towards your passengers & crew & I dispute your right to hold a command.
The very fact that the flight deck is fortified & armed will go a long way towards making a suicide hijack too difficult to attempt.
One terrorist organisation has stated " Why attack the tiger when there are plenty of sheep."
The fortified & armed flight deck makes it a tiger.
