Whatever, moron. I guess you are one of the real tough guys carrying a gun in a locked off cockpit. Right?
Let's get back to your first irrational and vindictive post before you spin off some other way.
Too bad it wasn't an FFDO and they didn't end the program.
Now if you really are a crewmember and not just another teenage kid on a reduced Ritalin dosage, the average person might just find out how vicious your post was.
Whatever did happen was a tragedy, and as of now, we still don't know if the shooting was justified or not by Air Marshal standards. We do know though from public statements that the FAMS most likely were operating on the jetbridge armed according to their rules. (pending the final investigation)
Now according to public knowledge easily found on the internet and from goverment statements on the prof, the FFDO pilots are armed, yet are only allowed to defend the cockpit from takeover. One might also think that if you are a crewmember Skymess, you would be aware of this.
From what we know of the shooting, it occurred on the jetbridge. If it was an FFDO, it would be highly likely that he would now be charged with murder or manslaughter at a minimum, unless there has been a change in the original law passed by Congress
I'd put down you post as basically incoherent yapping of a rather petty and ignorant invidual. Any other comments from you on the subject can be considered as irrelevant.
Twisting a tragedy like this into something that would suit your naive and ignorant views and would have resulting in a serious charge for a fellow employee, is about as scummy as it gets, especially on a public forum.
Wrench,
You have a good point on the doors. I've heard El AL does a double door where one is closed at all times. It would be another layer of security that would be welcomed.
I would also think that anyone with basic gun knowledge realizes the possible problems when entering a close confined area alone with adversaries present. Whether it be a room, garage, office or the forward part of an aircraft, the chances of success are pretty low, even if the others are only armed with knives. Sounds like those prison scenarios where the inmates have a guard by the throat and want to get in the armory. In the case of an aircraft, it would even be worse.
