FO Threatens Capt. With Gun

What's wrong with Grand Junction as Alternate choice ?

I think that's beyond the scope of the story

I am more intrigued by the fact that this happened last year and only hit the presses recently. Definitely more to the story. Wonder why it was so important to the F/O to avoid a divert? My Airline’s jumpseat chairman is attending a conference this week and he said there will be spirited discussions about the Alaska Airlines incident and this one.

Delta fiercely guards their image. The last thing they wanted was for this story to go public. But these days there cannot be many secrets...too many people know stuff. And...the internet.

By the way, interesting to have my rather benign question about guns deleted. Interesting.

No it isn't. It was just a response to an off-topic post.

Because it is America; in America a gun can solve any problem.

No, no. We Americans do realize guns are a BIG problem. And the only solution to THAT problem is more guns.

I wonder, Dunn must have known that he ended his career with that Texas style CRM.

[Gordomac]

Ok. I now see that Dunn was objecting to diversion as opposed to specific choice of diversion field. I remain interested in why he objected and the need to threaten, with violent action if any diversion to any en-route alternate was initiated.

Yes … very odd

[Loose rivets]

When I was swatting for my Concealed Carry in Tx (not required now, I gather) I happened across a list of people that could carry guns on FAR Par121 civil air transport etc.

Police officers, FBI, Members of Military service, Dentists . . . Dentists!? Yeah. Stop squirming enforcement I suppose.
