[Shooter 2.5]

I was already in a discussion about the armed pilots to a person when we discussed the problem of the airlines. The problem isn't the government. It's the airlines.
When I mentioned that we should e mail every airline to ask them to fight for armed pilots, he said, don't bother. He had already contacted every airline and they gave the same response.
They don't want their pilots to be armed. It's a liability question. If you don't believe it, contact the airlines yourself. By the way, Southwest doesn't answer e mail.

Their insurance carriers (if they're not self-insured) need to rethink their policies. Allowing a plane to become a missile because the last line of defense was refused is not a free pass for government to bail out the airlines to the tune of billions of dollars because of the airlines and insurance companies incompetence to ensure the safety of the passengers -- not to mention a skyscraper filled with thousands of people.
