Don't waste your time, I've seen it too.

well, another fear isnt accidents, read the front page of todays news paper.

Flying isn't the most feared thing in the world, is it?

well, after them dam terrorists in england, maybe.

lol, good thing the british are competent when it comes to these things. In these times, I'd rather be boarding a plane in britain than in the US.

pilots should carry low calaber pistols. imaging a woman flight attendent pulling out 2 9mil subs and ripping the terrorists up.

i'm just wondering,How do the pilots stay up all night?Even if they change shifts won't they still be tired?

some sleep during the day.

Or get sleep before a big flight.

Know a days planes are worked electronically the piolt is there in case something goes wrong and that is why there are 2 of them

some pilots have 2 bigflights a day. to australia or japan, or anywere far, and back. they train for stuff like this. i can stay up pretty late though.

I can stay up really late, If I wanted to.

i was up till, 12:00 last night.

I'm not alowed to stay up that late!

i stay up as i please. you know, kick back at 11:00. pop a ice cold cokacola and watch a movie.

And your parents let you?

yeah. i get tired a lot, so i ussaly stay up at 10 on weekdays and 12 on weekeends

Lucky.

I went to sleep at 7:30am this morning, and just woke up at 6pm. There's my sleep schedual for ya.

only on weekends its good, cause i dont have to do anything in the morning. its ok tohugh. i get REALLY tired

Two words: ceramic bullets .

I believe the FAA has authorized pilots to carry a gun in the cockpit now, not sure though.

yeah, at least a 22. cal would be safe.

.22's make for good head-shot's. Peirces the skull and then loses enough momentum so it cant make it out the other side, so it just ricochet's around in there.

any of these would be a fine selection, for passangers sake?

Wouldn't work well in a confined space, because then you have pepper flying around in the cockpit. Same thing with Tazers, the person firing and the person receiving are too close, and have the chance of making contact, thereby shocking the pilot as well. The exact same gun the Air Marshalls use would be great, because ceramic bullets won't pierce the side of the aircraft, but will pierce a human.

yeah my first choice was better would even a 38. be enogh to peirce?

Maybe a tranquilizer,a BB gun or a Semi-Automatic Desert Eagle.

no, but if there druged? well, even if they can get on a plane with drugs. i think the 22. would be the best. but a test would be good. to make sure the pilot always makes a clear shot.

Maybe an Under-cover bodyguard pretending to be a flight attendant.

Or maybe an air marshall? Oh, wait, we already have those on airplanes! Sure, having a pilot carry a gun in the cockpit sounds good on paper, but when we already have air marshalls on every flight...

And, for those of you arguing, the only safe gun on an aircraft is one with a ceramic bullet. Period.

yeah, ceramic 22.

Why not a BB gun or a tranquilizer?

what if they got drugged. it would take alot

A non-lethal GBS tranquilizer.Drugs for Knock-out and making him suffer.

a BB gun would be do big to fit and point in the cabin or cockpit. the 22. has a realy small barrel.

Or a plain old revolver.

no, way to powerful.

9mm with a ceramic bullet (and a silencer)?

yeah,that would be good. reduce the power, and more accuracy.

A 105 mm Howitzer gun?
