I'll just ask this and let it be. How many planes would have been successfully hijacked on 9/11 had there been armed pilots? Don't dodge the question with Sky Marshalls, as the expense outweighs the possibility to have them on every plane (FFDOs are no-cost to the airline or the gov't except for the training)....answer the question as asked. How many hijackers would have been able to enter the cockpit, kill both pilots, and then crash the planes into their targets if they were met at the door with a gun?
answer is all of them if they adhered to policy, or none if they didn’t open the door.
there is no reason for a firearm on the flight deck, and if you show up with one, know my inside voice is saying that you’re a scared little kid who isn’t quite secure enough in who they are, and need a weapon to compensate
