B737NG
<<Protest yes
that aircrews are not longer treated as children but weappons
out of the cockpit !!! We have to handle the aircrafts and not
participate in a battle in the sky.>>
Here lies the death of logic. When the terrorists do manage to burst through to the cockpit when the door has been opened, or bang their way in, I assume the pilots will hold their hands up in the air and say "look! We're unarmed (and proud of it)! We don't DO violence on the Flight Deck! Please go sit down like good little Al Quaida people!" Believe me, at that stage, you would be better having a .38 revolver pointing rearwards rather than a 'Ban the Bomb' sign (and nothing else). You see, once they are there, and you don't have a gun, you are going to die immediately with a bottle slashed throat, then they will sacrifice all your passengers and no doubt as many people on the ground as they can kill. So what exactly has anybody to lose by having armed pilots at the controls? What have the passengers to gain by armed pilots? The possibility of survival.
