Notso Fantastic.
Over the last few months, airlines around the world have been bending over backwards to fit these phase two doors to flight decks.
Is the US government now suggesting that actually, these doors are worthless and can't to the job they were designed for? If so, lets go back to the old system, which was a hell of a lot safer in other situations.
Also, I may be misunderstanding the events of Sept 11th, but I thought the airlines involved had a locked flight deck door policy and it was only the fact that the door was opened that allowed the events to transire as they did.
Allowing the pilots to have a gun may allow the pilots to go down in a blaze of glory, but the end result will still be an aircraft full of dead passengers. Lets keep guns away from airside.
