I personally think the idea of arming pilots is very, very bad. Think about it for a second. The cockpit of a plane is not some where you want to have a fire fight, also, if a fire fight were to break out, guess which direction the pilots bullets are going? Then again, if you don't fly 1st class you don't have to worry about that.

Don't get me wrong, I am a firm beleaver in every one( assuming they have decent training) being armed. I just can't see a pilot being armed as a good thing.
