Let's just say you did it again, and from the first posts?
Training with the local PD, would that be the one you refer to as "Podunk"?
I guess the question becomes, "how many others have your level of commitment to firearm training?"
You're arguments in the merit of an armed flightdeck still rings of a single threat, but that can be my reading of you words? I would hope that given this threat and the option to be armed the guys pick your plane out of how many thousands of flights so you can calmly pull off that series of head shots...
Moot point? That Glaser have a velocity of 1350fps, that max effective is well beyond 100 yards, and a miss still hits something potentially vital? (PS pretty sure the plastic is a form of telfon, hence the material penetration boasted by Glaser)
Anyway we are walking in circles here, quick question what happens the first day an off duty pilot shoots someone in a bar out of their home state? Litigation Hell anyone... Far worst than any terrorist threat, cutting into company profits.
