They should simply reassign all the air marshalls, and recognize the Rights of Americans to be armed while traveling via air. Problem solved.

Sounds good to me! Until someone breaches the pressure vessel with their hollowpoint or the like after having a relaxing martini without realizing how it may affect them mixed with their medications and has a spaz attack after another occupant screams in horror from the gunshot which causes him to accidentally fire again from the surprise and just happens to be pointing at the cockpit at the time of discharge....

Point being, if that were the recognized rights, how much money do you think the airline industry would loose after the first media coverage of a scenario like this?

Just like those shootouts at the checkout lines and parking lots and malls just like the opponents of CCW promised, right?

So what? Since when did the profits of a company come before our civil Rights.

That like asking how much a bus company in 1960s Alabama would lose because blacks no longer had to sit at the back of the bus.
