Threats on UK Flights
 

Just in on CNN (TV)..

They just said that they have evidence of threats against UK airliners. Many flights already have armed guards. :(

Umm see now thats what cnn says...
However the truth is this has been in development for about 6 months now, flights out of the U.K have armed marshalls to major destinations started x-mas.

Thing that I'm confused about is if all the marshalls are going out of the u.k how are they coming back armed? :eek7

I just hope they take out some fucking scallies on their £59 package holiday to Ibiza.

PILOT BOYCOTT THREAT

The airline pilots' union in Britain has advised its members not to fly planes with armed sky marshals until agreement has been reached on the way they are used.

Hehe :1orglaugh

so we're back to "the when, not if" again...


something to think about to those that think Bushes war on terrorism has put out the fire of hate...

Shouldn't be anything to worry about! I fly to the UK and i'm not concerned!

armed gaurds has been a hot topic for the last week or so beause the gov't offically said for the first time that they would be on flights from British carriers. Then today the pilot union is threatening to strike unless 'rules of engagement' are agreed upon. Which more or less boils down to them demanding to know when an armed gaurd is on their plane and some want the right to refuse to fly with them. I have some sympathy for the first bit but not the second bit.
