Crikey, this is sounding like Einstein's definition of insanity. Please. Stop. Feeding. The. Trolls.

My Tool of the Day nomination is people who come around posting in the airline pilot forums who are NOT airline pilots, then argue with them on top of it!

I don't go into doctor forums and argue with them.

It's the equivalent of showing up to a private party uninvited and getting into it with the guests.

I confess, I'm guilty.
As a penance, on my next trip, I'll do three r/t's through the public TSA line along with 5 Hail Mary's.

Cardio have you ever thought the FFFO program and FAMs are a useful deterrent to would be terrorists without even having to shoot someone?
You call these guys stupid for making mistakes yet they are good enough to fly you or your family members around in a pressurized metal tube with big jet engines on it and thousands of gallons of jet fuel?
You admit you make mistakes, so all of us should dog on you for any screw ups a Cardio doctor makes and lump you into that same category? Speaking of which you must be a crappy doc because the ones I know have king airs or pressurized singles...

I know I'm speaking to a brick wall and your pal packrat will have his head up your butt as well with an incoming comment I'm sure, but just take a step back from your anti gun infested mind and realize that you don't have to shoot people to be a deterrent. Just as the act of a cop driving behind you makes you straighten up a little, the program is effective.

Its certainly not a deterrent as currently applied. It would only be a REAL deterrent if EVERY pilot was an FFDO. The "cop" straw man is just that.

A real terrorist will just roll the dice considering the number of FFDOs to the general pilot group.

But that's always Barney's excuse. If the Captain had been an FFDO on the German Wings Airbus would the outcome have been any different?

Virtually ALL terrorist threats have originated on International flights. The whole FFDO programs is a knee jerk reaction to 9/11 capitalized on by a bunch of gun nuts who thought they were going to get unlimited concealed carry authorization just because they were airline pilots.

Oh, look! Incompetent and dishonest cardiologists! Let's condemn all cardiologists as TOTDs! What's good for the goose is good for the gander!

Obviously, this is sarcasm, but it is the same type of claptrap a certain poster on here is guilty of.

With some notable exceptions, such as the four flights on 9/11, of course.

I'm not going to get into the FFDO debate here. Actually, at least on these pages, it's qualification as a debate is debatable. But if you are going to shout, you should shout accurately.
