. . . that have now armed over 1,000 of our pilots . .

      Really.  What is your source?
      According to the New York Post, Jan. 6, 2004, only 500-800 have been ceritified - out of 100,000 pilots.
      " About half the pilots applying for the program were rejected in the initial screening process. No explanations for those rejections have been provided, making the entire system unaccountable. " - National Review

That sounds right. 800 pilots armed in January and another 200+ should have graduated between then and now.

Oh, that's 1000+ as I said, by the way... even by your source.
