once upon a time
well boys and girls....did you know that at one time all airline pilots in the USA carried a gun, rod, heater, revolver, horse pistol? Yup...because they were sworn to defend the US Mail, which the airliners carried.
Now, this was quite awhile ago...maybe as late as the DC3 and DC4 heyday.
You can even see it mentioned by E.K. Gann in "Fate is the Hunter".
Look, we had a guy go nuts...medical? nutritional supplement? but it worked out
Some comments seem less than realistic...the only SURE way to prevent this from happening again is to ground all planes.
Let's let things run their course....
I would love to know the procedures for reporting a less than optimal pilot at
JETBLUE. Can you select pilots to NOT fly with? (as a copilot)
hmmmmm
