The British Association of Air Line Pilots said deploying armed officers on aircraft is likely to endanger lives

What is the logic of this??

In fact this has been the British pilots' position from the outset. They were always prepared to agree to marshals providing adequate protocols for their use were agreed (as they are in the US). It was sloppy reporting which turned this into an in-principle objection.
