Re: Why does a pilot need to bring a weapon to hijack a plane?
You wish.Originally Posted by drone
I heard a transcript from some flight were both Pilot and Copilot were busy fixing some really minor thing and only noticed that something was wrong about a second or so before the crash. Just keep the guy busy and if you're good he won't notice a thing.

Re: Why does a pilot need to bring a weapon to hijack a plane?
Plus if you slam the throttle forward and point the nose of a large commercial airliner at the ground the chance of it getting out of that maneuver is probably pretty slim. The weight and speed behind it would be pretty fatal alone, throw it into a bit of a spin and the plane has a very good chance of ending up scattered all over the ground.
Of course the copilot probably has some training at getting out of spins of death, but I doubt they worry too much about that sort of thing with commercial airliners since there are few to no instances when you should be able to get into a spin when flying one of those babies from what I know.

There's no need for a bomb check either. They have everything they need to build a bomb in the cockpit(or areas they have easy access to).
The axe is just one of the things they have there...
Screening pilots is simply idiotic. They have everything they could ever wish for in the plane. A simple knock/axe on the head of the co-pilot, and they can do whatever they want. If the pilot turns out to be a terrorist, no security checkpoint in the world will be able to stop it.
Unless, of course, they come up with a way to screen our brains....
Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban
