Little known fact: many of the pilots behind those locked doors are armed as well.

The Flight Deck Officer program allows pilots to volunteer to become deputized Air Marshals. They receive training and are issued a badge and a gun.

Good guy with a gun, we're not mentally ill at all !

So police officers are mentally ill? Interesting take.

Yes, they think they're the good guys.

Police officers are mentally ill? Interesting take.

Also, we're talking about pilots that you are already trusting with you're life and the lives of hundreds of people with you. If they were mentally ill they could just crash the plane and kill you.

These guys are genuinely invested in maintaining the safety of human lives.

They should continue focusing on that instead of gun politics and their farcical contrived scenarios to have guns on a civil plane.
