Again, the FFDOs bros defend the program. Their standard go-to answer to anyone outside the program is “you don’t know what you’re talking about.”
I fly with you’s. I know enough.
I’ll add more 2 cents you didn’t ask for…
1. It is beyond insane we armed Fedex/UPS pilots. No terrorist has ever gotten access inflight to commandeer a FDX/UPS jet. The only example was a FedEx green-on-green attack, an employee about to be fired who decided to turn on his crew and takeover the airplane. An inside threat, not external.
2. RJ pilots strapping. That’s cute.
Even the PSA accident flight had an armed pilot.
Alright, here it is. Any terrorist worth his salt, who has gone through the training, is committed to a takeover to use an airplane as a WMD, is not going to use a damn RJ. If they’re going all the way, it’s gonna be a bigger airplane. Even on 9/11 Mohammad Atta flew PWM-BOS on a Colgan B1900 with no flight deck door, and never charged or attempted a takeover. No one is taking over a friggin RJ, get over yourself.
