B. True! I'm so vanilla and innocent, I've never even gotten a moving violation!

This guy's like the kid back in school who sat at your lunch table but nobody wanted there. Even after it was obvious that his presence was unwanted, he still insisted on sticking around.

A bit of a logic failure there, but nice try. There are a lot of bad cardiologists and I don't defend them at all. If there was a program to actively do something stupid, say arm cardiologists who work in "dangerous" ERs, I wouldn't defend it, nor would I participate. I'm not really sure your post has a point.
Guns have no place in the cockpit. The vast majority of pilots agree with me, the rest post angrily here.
I find explaining why a gun is not useful in the cockpit similar to explaining to laypersons why a (personal) parachute is not useful in my plane, or in an airliner. Some may want it "just in case." Still does not make significant logical sense, and is an emotional response.
But anyway yes let's return to TOTD.

I figured the mods would have kicked him long ago for complete ignorance and insulting arrogance in nearly every post, but then realized his click numbers on the wannabee ads on this site must be off the charts.
FFDO debate? Not anymore, I tried to reason and got nothing in return but irrational generalities and condescending responses from a little plane pilot that has demonstrated that he doesn't have access to info on security limitations surrounding the issue. Look at his "armed ER" example. If there is a threat, a cop or security can be there unlike on most flights.
APC keeps letting posters like this in, have fun, I'm gone. They offer nothing for those of us who actually fly for a living. Take a look at PPrune. That place is run amok with enthusiasts and wannabees. Getting good info there is nearly impossible.
Adios

I can guarantee that is not accurate. Quite the opposite. The vast majority are either okay with it even if they don't want to go through the training, fully support it but don't want the hassle placed upon them, or are part of the program.
Im not sure why some people are on this forum. This place is called airline pilot central. Not quack central.
