Arming pilots?

Before I worked for the airlines, I liked that idea. After working for the airlines I understand the reason why thit or even a armed sky martial is a bad idea.

With an armed pilot or sky martial on an aircraft, the Hijacker or terrorist does not need to smuggle anything on to the flight. Just have 10 of them on the aircraft and overpower the person with the pistol.
