You could give a gun to every single airline pilot tomorrow, and the threat of malicious action by those pilots would be about zero. Accidents and theft would be the greater dangers. My point is we are all trustworthy, but a few are careless, so the real danger is like I said, theft or accidents. The guy had no intent to do anything with the gun in Canada, because he didn't think it was with him. Just a bad ooopsie.

Here's a crazy idea for all of you who think it was just an honest mistake:
WHY PUT A HANDGUN IN A BAG YOU TAKE TO WORK!?!?!?
I'm a responsible handgun owner with a concealed carry permit...and the last place I would carry it in is something I fly with - whether to a gun range or just to the neighbors house.
Common sense tells the dog not to bite the hand that feeds him...but then again - there are dogs that are just too hungry or stupid to care.

I guess my point wasn't clear. If your union(whether it be swapa, apa, usapa, ibt, ipa, etc) was not directly involved in bringing kcm to fruition(both through PAC contributions and walking the halls in DC) then you shouldn't have access to KCM. That goes for JB, VA, etc. I am tired of my dues dollars being used for things that continue to benefit the profession and having the freeloaders get the same benefits. Like ALPA or hate em, they are the only real voice in DC. Not a ALPA cheer leader but a realist.
Now you may rant of all of the failures of ALPA(which have been many)

You're right, because an ALPA pilot would never do such a thing... Think before you speak next time.

Agreed - Some guys really will use any excuse to take pot shots at each other won't you?
And to think that this group talks so much about unity being the saving grace of this industry
