And he maces you as you try to beat him while your grabbing your face in pain?

Maybe he's giving flight instruction to Otto Pilot.

Well, that would suck, but then again, it would suck just as bad if I was waving a gun around instead of the flashlight.

Would you? I think you'd be surprised how many people lock up in the face of an attack like that. You won't know until it happens to you.

Rather than take cheap shots at a few guys who think they are cops, consider the rest of the group are decent guys trying to protect the country, heaven forbid the situation arises.

The crews that leave a full bag of trash behind when they check out for the day.

This is a public forum. Might I recommend Pro Stands the next time an FFDO acts in an irresponsible manner?

That's for more specific actions and behavior. The charge of toolishness (in general) carries a lower burden of proof, and requires no such proceeding.

For the record, I agree with Buzz, Dalad, and Deadhead. Those ranks make for a tool-rich environment.

Fair enough, but public outcry is not going to make Southwest taxi slower, or get your Captain to use hand sanitizer.

Public outcry could, however, help shut down the FFDO program. The anti-gun media could do a short google search and find you guys agreeing that 90% of FFDOs should not have a weapon.

If anyone can point to his seatbelt, I'll give you a cookie. :D
