The safety of aircrews should be a primary concern for all of us. I'm not sure arming pilots is the answer though. I feel very secure since Jetblue installed armored cockpit doors on all of our aircraft. The first next generation door equiped aircraft has also just arrived on property from Airbus.
If they can't get into the cockpit then why would I need a gun?
