Thank you for making my point.
Most ridiculous statement ever... anywhere.
Pilots don't pass a GED and 6 weeks later walk into a cockpit. Even if they did, THEY CONTROL THE PLANE. No weapon required. Flight attendants (even the ones with a PhD) would be hard pressed to win a wrestling match with me, and even the ones that could take me, I'd appreciate at least a fighting chance.
