Does anyone think that a person who is hell-bent on killing everyone in sight won't be able to overpower a (likely female) flight attendant? Maybe make martial arts training mandatory for flight attendants? Maybe give them a gun?
My point is that the supposed solution that is currently being implemented in the US is not really representative of the relative safety obtained by having a flight attendant in the cockpit while one of the pilots goes to take a dump. It's just that we've been lucky so far that none of our flights have had one of these crazies for a pilot.
this guy was a 130 pound german pussy. He wouldnt even have the balls to try what he did with someone else in the cockpit, even if he did i would bet on any flight attendant (male or female) against him
